Beautiful, Simple, To the point
I am surprised at how beautiful this book is, it came as a hardcopy which was nice. Beautiful illustrations, nice quality paper. As someone struggling to make sense of plant taxonomy it does a great job of giving historical and scientific background. This book also has diagrams and "keys" to help you identify random plants you don't know. Easy to read with the way that this book was written as well as the size of text and paragraph spacing makes it so its not overwhelming. Even for a Botanist this would be a nice reference Did I mention beautiful, it makes you want to pick it up and open. I dont know if someone drew these images or what but I really like the art style.
