desertcart.com: Illustrated Handbook of Succulent Plants: Monocotyledons: 9783540416920: Eggli, Urs, Arroyo-Leuenberger, S., Bayer, M.B., Bogner, J., Eggli, U., Forster, P.I., Hunt, D.R., Jaarsveld, E.J.van, Meyer, N.L., Newton, L.E., Rowley, G.D., Smith, G.F., Thiede, J., Walker, C.C.: Books

Review: Barely Illustrated Handbook of Succulents - Considered by many to be the ultimate references on the subject matter, the 6 volume set published under the series title "Illustrated Handbook of Succulent Plants" is a real let down. The series attempts to capture comprehensive information relative to identification of species based upon the cut and dry taxonomic and morphologic features, typical of these types of guides. Where the books fail is in the lack of illustrations. The total species illustrated under each genus seems to be a random scattering of fair to outstanding photographs. The images are too small to be really useful for detailed examination. Although the book does illustrate some of the odd ball species, it fails miserably in providing enough images to make it worthy of the title "Illustrated". The cost of the series is quite high, but not unusual for a book with such high print and construction standards. The amount of money you save by not buying this volume is better spent picking up some of the older works on the subject matter that are truly illustrated. In closing, a lot of money for text that can be found online and with better pictures for free. Avoid unless you are an avid collector and need an identification key that was dated the day it was printed.
Review: Great for the individual who has a Masters in Botany - 300 pages of densely written descriptions using so many $64 words that I was broke after a few pages. Although the title says “ILLUSTRATED”, that is perhaps generous, since there are only 32 pages of small, poor-quality photographs of succulents at the end of the book - after the Index. Only recommended for the most knowledgeable or masochistic of succulent afficianados.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by R***O on April 2, 2002*

Il libro è ben fatto (forse un po troppo stringato nelle descrizioni) e le foto a colori precise e di esemplari molto esplicativi. Forse l'aggiunta di chiavi per la determinazione delle specie sarebbe stata un aggiunta gradita da molti... e la maggior grandezza delle foto sarebbe stata un plus valore. Il libro comunque rimane un must !
