1.0 out of 5 stars A poor introduction to growing carnivorous plants, 22 Aug 1998

By A Customer

While this book does have some nice photos, it is overall a poor introduction to the cultivation of carnivorous plants giving erroneous information concerning their cultivation, propogation, collection and distribution. This, in my opinion, makes it an unworthy book. Purchase 'The Savage Garden' or, if you can find it, 'Insect Eating Plants and How to Grow Them'. Both are much more worthy of the enthusiasts money!

2.0 out of 5 stars Fair / Below average, 5 Nov 1997

By A Customer

Overall, the photos are quite good. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of the written material. There were a number of errors in plant information. An example was the information presented for the monotypic genus Darlingtonia californica, which contained erroneous information regarding its habitat extending north into British Columbia. The line drawings in this work are quite delightful and worth viewing. Overall, this book would be useful to newcomers into the world of Carnivourous plants, but long time hobbyists should examine other publications for more serious, in-depth information.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent overview, 5 Oct 2008

By	Mrs. Susan J. Wildman - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Carnivorous Plants of the World (Hardcover)

I found this a very interesting and well illustrated overview of these plants. It really prompted me to try to grow and propogate some.
