I have lots of books on Australian plants and am always looking out for more. Author Leonard Cronin is a legend, but unfortunately I do not recommend this one. The information is probably useful, but the book is let down by the visual aspects. The quality of the illustrations is too variable to be useful. And for some strange reason, the book designer chose to put the actual species name, what people using the book are looking for, in a very small font in a top and bottom shaded box, so it is almost unreadable. The book covers the whole of Australia when most users are probably trying to identify a plant in a specific area.
