This book is wonderful! I'm shocked it doesn't have more reviews, though I suppose it is a bit older. It contains everything I wanted out of a book on succulents and cacti, from a glossary on all different kinds of these plants, to grafting, to potting/re-potting, and which ones are best in which conditions. The pictures are beautiful, as well. I look forward to referring back to it when I need help with my plants!

Excellent starter book. It would be impossible to be comprehensive. I use my copy to write in and take notes about each genus. I include dates and names of each species purchased as well as where I eventually found them and idiosyncrasies about care and growth.The photographs are excellent.
