Excellent book for Cacti lovers!!!:
I bought this book for my father as a gift. He is a collector of nearly 5,000 different species of Cacti & succulents plants. This book is a comprehensive reference of cacti. This is considered the 'Bible' for cactus collectors and researchers alike. Well worth the money for the information and photos. The main section The Cacti lists the plants alphabetically by Genera and then species. Each Genera has a general introduction discussing its characteristics, habitat, taxonomy and discovery.

The Spine:
Great reference point for all nurseries, collectors, etc. Heavily laden with photography and cultural significance of selected cacti. The Cactus Bible.

The Cactus Family:
Extremely pleased with the purchase, I had tried two other places that claimed to have it in stock and it wasn't. The book arrived in excellent condition and in a reasonable time. The book is as good as claimed by cacti experts and is undoubtably the most up to date book on this extensive subject.

The Cactus Family:
Excellent book. I would recommend it to cacti enthusiasts as a very good reference. I learned a lot about other uses and the history of cacti as well. Prompt delivery.

The Cactus Family:
An excellent, up to date book on Cactus. A worthy addition to the reference library of any serious cactus collector. Not a book for someone just looking for "growing instructions" but more geared to the serious botanist.
