Nice condition as described. Not pristine since it used to be a library issued copy, but no more damage than it might get in an average home over a few years on the coffee table.
A reference work
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This guide answers almost all questions one can develop on this beautiful plants. From a basic introduction into the genus along propagation and cultivation up to a comprehensive taxonomic guide on species (almost complete) and hybrids and finally professional topics as exhibitions, hybridizing and commercial production, this book covers it all. And what I liked most: though it has more than 100 pictures, it doesn't suffer of the "coffee-table"-syndrome (large, non-detailed pictures) as so many plant books regrettably do.Absolutely recommended. It's an exceptional work and it will last long for you to reach a point where this book can't be of use anymore.
The lily hybridizer's Bible
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This book is an incredible resource for those wishing to try their hand at lily hybridization. A word of warning though, it really is not written for the layperson. While you do not have to have a Ph.d. in botany to understand the contents, those with a fair amount of horticultural experience will benefit the most. The book is clearly and concisely written, and is also organized nicely. The photos are beautiful and the line drawings are very helpful. It is the most in-depth discussion of lilies I have ever encountered, written by one of the world's experts in the field. I hope others will enjoy it as much as I have.
