First Edition: xiii, 282 pages, profusely illustrated throughout with colour photographs, original dark brown cloth decorated and titled gilt on the upper cover and spine, a very good copy in the dust jacket.

Editor's note: 'This first book on caudiciform succulents stretches the definition to take in many equally collectable succulents, using copious illustrations to counter a lack of popular names and easy terminology.

'The cultivation chapter explains aspects of growing and encourage propagation - vitally necessary now that many endangered in the wild and supplies restricted.'

  • Overall Condition: Very good
  • Size: Oblong 4to (250 x 260 mm)
