Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I heard Allan Armitage interviewed by Walter Reeves on the radio here in Atlanta. I was really excited about getting the book and planned to give it as a gift. I was disappointed. If you'd like to read about vines, you might enjoy this one. But if you are looking for a reference book or a guide book to choosing the best vines for a particular location, this book is a bummer. There is little consistency in the way the information is presented for each plant and no quick identifiers about which do best in sun, shade, or in particular soil. There are some lists at the end of the book, but not enough, and still none about the most basic, sun vs, shade, etc. Very surprising. Entries are laid-out in paragraph form which you must read through. It's very impractical, and surprising that an editor would overlook this. I love books and usually prefer them, but this time I say, save your money and do an internet search. I'm not even sure that I will give it as the gift I intended - if it wasn't going to cost me, I'd return it.
