This is a great book of black and white illustrations for reference when you want to paint or draw foliage. This is a real nice detailed book to use as reference. You can’t go wrong adding this to your library.

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!

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.

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.
