Отзывы
Очень красивое издание. Как поклонница ботанической иллюстрации я очень долго гонялась за этой книгой, пока не нашла в Читай-городе по очень приемлемой на тот момент цене, особенно с бонусами. Книга очень толстенькая, на мелованной бумаге содержится невероятное количество иллюстрации. Все иллюстрации скомпонованы по источникам и датам создания. Подойдет в качестве отличного подарка.
