Review
"His exuberant affection for both gardeners and lilacs and his authoritative voice make this tome of information a kind of intimate, learned travel guide through the heady world of lilacs."
—Anne Raver, New York Times, January 18, 2002 (The New York Times )
"If you decide to cut back the deciduous moster that looms over your side yard, consult Lilacs: the Genus Syringa. This is the standard work on lilacs."
—Verlyn Klinkenborg, New York Times Book Review, June 2, 2002 (New York Times Book Review )
As many lilac fans know, this is a great reference work on Syringa. -- International Lilac Society Website, January 2002
[This] book is still the best – and in some ways the only – substantial reference book on lilacs available. -- Lilacs : The Quarterly Journal, Spring 2002

Review
“[D]o not let the encyclopedic nature of the book intimidate you—this is no dry read…For the cultivar descriptions, the accompanying photos, the updated taxonomic treatment, and the history and tales, this is a book that belongs on every lilac lover’s bookshelf.”
(American Gardener )
