3.0 out of 5 stars Useful... but not visually updated since 1982, 14 Jun 2005

By	Mr. Philip Harkins "Wash your hands now and s... (London) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The House Plant Expert (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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Useful... but dated., 14 Jun 2005

By	Mr. Philip Harkins "Wash your hands now and s... (London) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The House Plant Expert: 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shows ideas as to where plants can go, using original 1970's-early 1980's photographs, and as such looks horrendously outdated.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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for beginners and experts alike, 8 April 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The House Plant Expert (Expert books) (Paperback)

These books are just brilliant. Easy to read and even easier to understand, they explain everything you need to know about most [if not all] of the plants you're likely to try and raise at home. We borrowed a couple of these a few years ago, and have been itching to buy our own ever since. We'd only ever seen them in garden centres before [and sometimes at rather inflated prices...] Maybe now that Amazon's stocking them, we'll finally get the ones we want.
