3.0 out of 5 stars
Useful... but not visually updated since 1982,
By Mr. Philip Harkins "If in doubt, Smile! :-)" (London) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The House Plant Expert: The world's best-selling book on house plants (Expert books) (Paperback)
Hmm... a hard one to review, as there is so much in here which is useful both to the avid indoor gardener, and novice alike.The book, originally published in 1982 looks tired, and could have been easily updated with better graphics and photographs... illustrating ideas with (then) contempory photo's was a ground breaking step, now it looks odd. Very American in its idea's as well, and not terribly relevant to U.K. interiors. Still, it has clear to follow guides, a useful little problem's page, and some nice illustrations. Could however have been updated in order to be as valuable now as it was when I was starting out my indoor adventures.

Useful... but dated.,
By Mr. Philip Harkins "If in doubt, Smile! :-)" (London) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The House Plant Expert Book 2: Book Two (Expert Series) (Paperback)
This is the second book on houseplants by the author... the first being amazingly successful, and published worldwide.The most useful bits are the small photo's by which you can attempt to identify the plants you want to find out about. The photo's though are very grainy, and poor quality in my opinion, and not too good. There is poor cross linking, and the book looks very dated indeed, despite being recently written. It shows ideas as to where plants can go, using original 1970's-early 1980's photographs, and as such looks horrendously outdated. The language though is clear, and it has the occasional little gem. Buy if you have the series of books, to complete the set, otherwise think carefully. Having said that, this is a unique book, and useful in its own way.

Excellent product.,
This review is from: The House Plant Expert: The world's best-selling book on house plants (Expert books) (Paperback)
This book is a replacement for an older version which had become out of date because of all the interesting new plants that are now available. This version of the book is great, very up to date with good advice and good photos.
