Plantfinder's Guide to Ornamental Grasses

Rating:
Summary: Good book on grasses with excellent illustrations.
Review: This book offers a fine overview on grasses and is particulaly strong in the range and quality of the photos. If you have trouble choosing or identifying grasses from descriptions or line drawings this book will help enormously. My particular interest is the bamboos. There are photos of bamboos not often seen in this country (USA). The photos make the book a valuable addition to the books available on bamboo. But the text dealing with bamboo has many errors, surprising with an author with Roger Ground's experience. The book is published in this country by Timber Press and in the UK by David & Charles Publishers but is clearly a UK book reworked for the US market.
