RHS Botany for Gardeners: The Art and Science of Gardening Explained & Explored

The font-size for the book's text is laughably small, almost nonpareil small (6 pt ≈ 2.117 mm), I have books with similar dimensions that have much more legible text, even the text is a shade of grey and not proper black, that said, the book is nicely bound, it's filled with some concise - yet great - information & the illustrations are beautiful; the contents of this book can easily make a beginner in this topic a well-versed gardener.P.s.: The nonpareil remark was somewhat hyperbolic, but, still, keep the text's size in mind, it's legitimately the worst aspect of this marvelous book.

I moved from a Manhattan apartment to a house in a mid-sized city six months ago. The house is on a double lot and the previous owners were retirees who kept an award-winning perennial garden that I inherited. This book has been AMAZING for helping me to understand how my new hobby works. The writing is clear, with frequent inset boxes relating the botany to the gardening, and the illustrations are a delight. Love reading a few pages before bed.

Love this book. Lovely illustrations, beautifully written and informative

Best book on the topic ive ever read!

I received the book today, and I have seen that it has several defects on the cover. It's not a big deal, but if I get to know it, I don't pay the price for a new book when it looks used.
