5.0 out of 5 stars The most thorough pictorial book on plants that's out., May 31, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Exotica, series 3;: Pictorial cyclopedia of exotic plants from tropical and near-tropic regions (Hardcover)

I have the Series 3 Seventh Edition. It is the best pictorial book on identifying plants that is out and if you are so lucky to purchase one, you will be envied by your fellow gardners. They are scarce and those who have these books treasure them and do not give them up.

5.0 out of 5 stars I need the book, May 15, 2003

This review is from: Exotica, series 3;: Pictorial cyclopedia of exotic plants from tropical and near-tropic regions (Hardcover)

I have been searching for this book for 7 years. I could only turn to the libraries and the government Parks Board for reference. So i would very much appreciate if your company could make it available in the market.
It is a brilliant book for reference especially if one is in the industry. I have not come across any books that could come close to Graf's compilation of plants. I am also very interested in his other book Tropica which is also not been made available in the market. So please could i at least order the book from this review column

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, December 13, 1997

This review is from: Exotica, series 3;: Pictorial cyclopedia of exotic plants from tropical and near-tropic regions (Hardcover)

I bought my version in 1967 and consider it to be the best illustrated horticultural book I have seen. I still have it. It does suffer a major disadvantage in that it is too thick for one volume making it very unstable to read on your lap,the danger being that it's weight will cause it to drop off while you are holding a page. I have not seen Exotica 4 and would appreciate knowing what changes were made if that is possible. I have to be fair though and tell you that I will not be buying. Thankyou.
