Since then, the book has grown in terms of the plant groups it covers, its comprehensiveness and the number of genera, species and cultivars that are included. The articles are well-written and very interesting, the layout is good and the book is very easy to use (other than the fact that you need to be a power lifter to actually carry the thing).
