    Amazing book!

    Great book, essential for anyone seriously interested in freshwater ornamental plants. This is a must have for serious water feature designers, or for water plant nursery owners. The book is well-conceived and well-executed, all instructions and descriptions are clear, well written and useful. The only thing that I don't like is that the order of plants within the chapters is by alphabet, not by systematics. But that is a minor issue. Other than that, the book is perfect.
