 an informative work but not an encyclopedia July 22, 2007
0 out of 5 found this review helpful
The author makes a concerted effort to bring to you the vast numbers of hostas available today in a concise way. The book is designed to assist you in finding the hosta that best suites your needs. It does not meet the definition of an Encyclopedia, the species and cultivars are not arranged alphabetically, however in alphabetical order by the way they look, an informative work but not an encyclopedia. So the name of the book is yet another marketing ploy. For me, I can only use the book by way of index. It does have some information that's hard to find elsewhere. They make a darn good hit at getting info on some of the best hostas available and some that are barely available. It is not a five star book but it is a solid four star. The pictures woo the ladies but men want content, we know that a hosta may only look that way for one week in spring.

My husband and I love to collect hostas and although we have numerous varities, over the years we have failed to keep a record of the name and genus of the individual hosta. We decided to purchase this colorful book as a reference to help us know just what we have and the location where it is located. We plan to do a better job labeling our purchases and this book has already proved to be extremely helpful giving us the necessary info to identify our hosta. The book also contains information regarting growing requirements.
We feel it was a great purchase at a great low Amazon price! We highly recommend it.

Very informative, wonderful pictures, very useful when planning for the purchase or layout of a hosta garden! I'm very fortunate that there is a botannical garden/large hosta collection in my area that sells hundreds of different hosta varieties. With their price lists and this delightful book, I've been able to do my homework first, then go shopping and have created quite the diverse hosta/shade garden, with unique specimins not found at most run of the mill retailers. Again, this is a great book!

This is a wonderful book on hostas. I value the book so much that I talked our Garden Club into purchasing one for Presiden's Christmas gift.
