We have had a copy of this for years. Our son bought this copy to give to his Horticulture teacher (her first year of teaching). She is using it in class and loves it.Great photographs. Clear information on each plant. Plant pests are addressed, as well as propagation.I purchased this book, no freebies. Amazon should not allow vendor discounts in return for ANY reviews. There are far too many "I received this item in exchange for my honest review" reviews that are only glowing in their recommendations. It makes one wary as to the truth being told in many Amazon reviews....
