Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal
Although not as comprehensive as The American Horticultural Society A-Z Encyclopedia of Garden Plants, this is still a fine guide to common and rare garden plants. The photos are particularly good, and the text includes concise, basic information on each plant.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not what it use to be., August 22, 1999
By A Customer
Although this is a useful reference, the publisher has chosen not to include a CD-ROM, as in previous versions. The CD-ROM was what set this reference apart. The integration of a physical text plus computer speed access to information was great. I do not believe the book alone is worth the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Value, December 4, 1999
I wish I had found Botanica before buying dozens of other plant ID references - it would have saved me 100s of $ and hours of research to find everything in one volume. Every horticultural plant of worthy is covered with complete profile and excellent color photos. I don't know how they can supply so much book for so little money. Such a bargain!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sticker Shock and Disbelief!, September 21, 1999
By A Customer
I purchased this book at Christmas for myself and a friend.I have found it to be my best reference guide to date. The CD is untouchable to any other CD reference I've seen. I recently went back to college to study landscape design. My first classes are on trees and shrubs along with annuals and perennials. I took my book to class everyone was thrilled. They wanted to buy one.. But $59.99 not including the cd. This is redicules. You may want to rethink you price. By the way your handle idea is great but you need to find another way to seal the book. It gets all ripped when you try to open. Still and excellant reference guide... I'm happy I bought it at the time I did. You may want to watch out you may be pricing yourselfs out of the ball park!
