4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful photos to help you identify everything, 18 Jun 2006
By Deb "debmw" (Aylesbury, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: RHS Pests and Diseases (Hardcover)
I don't own this book but recently bought a copy for my brother, and would like to get one myself. What struck me when browsing this book, and what impelled me to buy it, was the plethora of excellent, good-sized colour photos to enable the precise identification of every pest and disease. Unfortunately many books on this subject provide instead only line drawings, which don't do the trick in the same way as a good photo.
But this book is not just full of photos - there's plenty of detailed written info too on each problem and which plants it affects, and no doubt (since it's an RHS book and involved Pippa Greenwood) of good quality too, but I didn't have a chance to read through it and assess it.
Another RHS book on the same subject is written by different authors and has few if any photos, relying on b&w line drawings, and this one looks far superior. I only refrain from giving this five stars because I have not had a chance to read it in depth.
