3.0 out of 5 stars I beg to differ..., April 24, 2005

By	Breck Breckenridge (Spokane, Washington) - See all my reviews

I beg to differ with the other reviewer. There is no comprehensive treatment of the bamboo species here. This is a technical work on bamboo morphology, physiology and stuff like that. You won't find descriptions of "the bamboos" here. Sorry but couldn't let that stand.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great Bamboo Reference!, December 24, 2002

By	Howard Clark Jr. (Clovis, CA, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this book several years ago - and I use it often when I need to look up a bamboo species. My knowledge of bamboo was rather limited, and I find it interesting that these grass species are found in Asia, as well as South America. For anyone interested in grasses, this book is a must!
