I love this book and certainly feel it was worth adding to my library. My children and I use it as a reference tool to look up a plant or tree type and also enjoy using it as a tool to learn to draw with. The pictures are all black and white with some being more simple than others but all are realistic and provide a rich visual to work from when learning to draw.

I love the Dover Pictorial Archives Series and this book is a fine example of the copyright-free images that Dover offers in these books. Jammed full of beautiful black and white drawings in fine detail this could be the one book in your library to cover all your botanical needs. But it won't be. Once you see this book you'll want to add more Pictorial Archives Series books to your library.

This book is definitely a MUST have if you are an artist or love art. The drawings are in fine detail and you can learn a lot from these illustrations. I am a fine arts student in college and I have never seen drawings this fine in details. The book is a masterpiece. I would expect a book like this to cost eight times the price. I say buy it, worth it.

This is a terrific book. I purchased it with the companion book on Animals. It is a "must have" for anyone interested in art, biology, or just a good coffee table book. It will keep youngsters quiet for hours with the facinating illustrations. Very high quality. You just can't beat the price either. I highly recommend it. You, too, can be botanically correct!
