3.0 out of 5 stars NOT A PICTURE BOOK!, December 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Trees Shrubs Vines On U Of Nd Campus (Paperback)

I ordered this book thinking it would be filled with illustrations and photographs of the beautiful University of Notre Dame campus (and its trees, shrubs and vines). Because there were no reviews, I took a risk in ordering the book. Unfortunately, there were no pictures and I was very disappointed. So, for those of you who are looking for a picture book, don't buy this one. However, although I am not going to read it, this book does seem to have a lot of information on the types of plants around the campus. Such information includes history, economic uses, horticulture characteristics, and natural distribution, as well as branch and leaf features, flower and fruit characteristics, and botanical information that can be used to identify plants. This book should be read by those who are interested in the complexities of plant life. I hope I have been of some help because if there were a comment such as mine when I was searching for a book, I would have never ordered this one. But I was looking for something completely different. I do feel, on the flip side that this book has more information about plants than I have ever seen. Therefore, if you want to learn a lot about plantlife, buy this book!
