DESCRIPTION:
"Five Stars" according to Richard F Falasco. great. James D. Mcdaniel said Excellent Little "Field Guide" Book. Great for anyone planning to visit Southwest to view native cacti. Not a gardening book, so do not expect growing information. If you love the desert, just 5 minutes of reading this book over coffee takes you there.. Great Resource Book JET This book is filled with pictures and good descriptions of the various cacti. What is nice is that it also gives some general info on where it is found and what elevation you will find it. The book is a little big to fit in your back pocket but the paper used is heavy stock and will not show wear and tear. High quality pictures. Glad I bought it.
