A Painter's Year In The Forests Of Bhutan by scholar and painter A. K. Hellum is an impressively presented artbook offering unique botanical and visual insights into the flora and culture of the land of Bhutan. Featuring color illustrations of more than 100 rarely seen Bhutanese plants, Hellum's extensive and thoughtful commentary enhances the gentle, museum quality illustrations, and provides the reader with a thoughtful perspective in the form of an exotic giftbook which is most especially recommended for lovers of nature and students of botany.

I had the pleasure of travelling in Bhutan with my father for 4 months when he was painting some of the work in the book. Shameless plug here for him, I know, but the designer did a wonderful job and the content ain't half bad either. Cheers!
