4.0 out of 5 stars Great book -- eclectic, poetic, and practical, 25 Aug 1998

By A Customer

this book is a encyclopedic idea book, full of plant descriptions, botanical characteristics including harvesting and propagating, and scores of ideas on how to use bamboo. Demanding and educational; useful and inspiring --- even if you don't buy the book, grow bamboo . . . Mark Wall

4.0 out of 5 stars Use Other Books for Pictures, 4 April 1999

By A Customer

This is a very good reference book for studying the botony of bamboo and also for building (ideas only) and other uses for bamboo in the past and present in other countries where bamboo is in abundance. Do not expect pictures because there are none at all, just line drawings. Very good source for those wanting to learn EVERYTHING about bamboo from a scientific viewpoint with some nice personal antidotes here and there. Yes, buy it! And DO GROW BAMBOO!

2.0 out of 5 stars Not a book for gardners, rather historians.
if you are interested in the history of bamboo then this is an excellent book, BUT, if your interest is in cultivating and growing bamboo then look for other books. Read more
