The Flower Expert

Good as new condition and promptvdelivery

I bought this copy for my son who is just into gardening. My original copy was bought in 1984 and has been a great help to me so I thought I would buy a copy for him. The newer copy is second hand and in a very good condition. It is much thicker than my original one. This is a 'Millennium Edition', ie dated 1999. I might even swap and give my son my original copy !!!

although the purchase was for a second hand book certainly didn't expect or like to receive one with serious tobacco smoke stains and overpowering smell. Used several hand wipes to remover the layer of brown tobacco smoke staining from the front and back covers and the exposed edges of virtually every page had similar brown tinged stains . The smell of tobacco smoke throughout the book was strong and permanent. With modern day attitudes towards smoking prospective customers perhaps should be warned if a book is in this condition or maybe should be advertised "for smokers only" !! Without this issue the book would have been good value for money.

Quality of book was really good.The customer service was superb def recomend to anyone.

My original print of this book (1980) is dropping to bits! This one is equally as good and in fact has approx. 100 more pages than my old one. I have not had time to go right through the book but it is just like my older copy, easy to read and understand. Looking forward to finding out what is new with the extra 100 pages! It arrived on time, was very well packed and I would recommend this seller to anyone.

Great value, fab book, delivery quite slow.

I would not look for any other garden books than the Expert series, they are unfailingly good, one can always find the information one needs and the whole series covers the full range of garden expertise; I abide by and recommend them most highly. Every plant has its own culture and in each of these books you can find out precisely what you are dealing with and gather knowledge as you go; above all they are fun books not overwhelmingly academic but enough to make better gardeners of us all, they have taught me all I know and I can not praise them highly enough
