3.0 out of 5 stars Palms of South Florida Review, 23 Oct 2002
By E Croft (Winchelsea, East Sussex United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Although aimed at the palm enthusiasts of Florida this book covers many species of palms which are common in Europe and Australia amongst other areas. It is a good beginners guide giving ample detail and illustrations to enable the reader to identify palms. In fact the bulk of the 250 pages (about 200 in all) provide detailed illustrations and notes on identifying palms and their features. The other pages cover, in limited detail, palm botany, palm geography, care, salt tolerance and pests as well as a guide to which palms grow best in the various climatic zones of Florida state.

The book was originally published in 1974 and appears not to have been updated since. Its presentation looks dated given the old fashion layout and font choice, but, most disappointing, there are no photos at all. This said, the illustrations are good and the content still relevant today. The only other concern is that all the measurements are in feet and inches.

In all, a good book worth buying.
