This book is a very good resource for everybody who wants to get informed about lilies in general. It's biggest advantage is it's very accessible language, even beginners won't have a problem to understand. It covers all important topics and is richly illustrated, though it sometimes suffers a bit of the "coffee-tablebook-syndrome".

It is a perfect work for beginners and advanced hobbyists who want to be well informed, but don't intend to use much too advanced techniques. For those it is quite usable and a very valuable source of information. Only experienced collectors and professionals might sometimes feel a bit unsatisfied.

I would recommnend this title, there are a lot of pictures, and therefore a bit less written information, but on the whole I think this book is worth buying.

This book speaks at length to the wide variety of the types of lilies available for cultivation. It does so in a manner that can be understood by a beginner such as myself yet with enough information so as not to bore the expert. One of the last chapters in this book dealt with the propagation of all the different types of lilies. This was the section that I enjoyed a great deal. I am now well on my way to expanding my stock of some wonderful and beautiful selections of lily bulbs without the high cost of buying new bulbs.
