• Has It's Limitations 01 December, 2007
The two previous reviewers show how difficult it is to recommend a book when doing a review of it. One reviewer didn't like it, the other one thought it was the bees knees. Can, they both be right? Well in their own minds they certainly are. At the end of the day it all depends on what you are looking for. I agree in part with both of them.
The photographs are sometimes not as quite as good as they could be, being too small and not always the best angle. In many cacti books you see the same old photographs regurgitated again and again but to be honest I Did not see any that I had seen before in this book. True, the descriptions can be a little sketchy. On the plus side the book does cover the cultivation of these wonderful plants. In fact it covers 300 species (a mere drop in the ocean as far as the Cactaeae Family goes) but pretty good for a book of this type. It also gives their geographic distribution, i.e. Mexico, Brazil, Chile, etc. All true cacti originate in the Americas.
If you are really interested in these plants and you are going to be happy with one book on Cacti, then perhaps you would be better spending a little more money on something more comprehensive.. However if you have a small library of cacti books, this will probably be a welcome addition.

• Correct Title: Cacti And No Other Succulents 25 July, 1999
The title is misleading in that this book describes no other form of succulents outside cacti. The pictures are generally small and too many are closeups that show what a particular feature of the plant looks like, but not the entire plant. The descriptions are short and a bit weak, as well.
