This review is from: What's Wrong with My Plant?: Expert Information at Your Fingertips (Pyramid Paperbacks) (Paperback)
This is a great book on plant pests. The pictures help a lot since I am never sure if what the book describes is what I am actually seeing. I also love the way the book addresses the problem and provides solutions in less than a page. I am not a person with a green thumb and would not buy books from anyone other than Steve Bradley. His books are simple, straight-forward, readable and understandable. I have his Pruner's Bible and it is even better!
