Martin's can-do enthusiasm is infectious, her creativity inspiring., As the air gets crisper outside, it's time to rethink what plants can do to enliven our interior spaces. Tips on how to care for ordinary and not-so-ordinary species are revealed, so non-green thumbers need not fear., All indoor plant hobbyists in every geographic area will enjoy and learn from this book. Its fresh approach deserves a thumbs-up., Martin's book makes one look very differently at the whole houseplant phenomenon. It isn't so much a practical guide…as a challenge to think outside the box when trying to bring the outside inside., [Martin] writes in a captivatingly personal way [with] exuberance and deep knowledge… [will] keep you reading., Tovah Martin's newest book is no dry encyclopedic volume: Her personal, engaging writing style is as entertaining as it is informative., This book engenders so much enthusiasm for indoor flora that you can find yourself outdoors with a shovel in your hand robbing your own garden of plants to bring inside., [Martin] writes in a captivatingly personal way [with] exuberance and deep knowledge... [will] keep you reading., For those who have tired of spider plants and cactus, garden writer Martin (The New Terrarium) suggests a year's worth of new options. She begins her tour in autumn (the start of the indoor gardener's year) and offers dozens of tempting suggestions. There are familiar bulbs and unexpected conifers, fruiting trees, and carnivorous plants. Each plant listing includes a photograph and an information box describing its flower, foliage, cultivation requirements, and potential problems. What really sets this apart from other reference guides are Martin's imaginative choices. She dares readers to invite conifer trees and summer coleus inside for the winter and explains how to help the plants thrive there. She lures readers beyond the Christmas poinsettia to the whimsical, Dr. Seussian charm of a holiday Echeveria. She offers fruit, fragrance, foliage, and flower. Clineff's full-color photographs provide plenty of inspiration for the home gardener and decorator. This is an imaginative guide to bringing the delights of the garden indoors., Good choice for plant geeks and anyone tired of the same old peace lilies, ivies and Boston ferns., "Will boost the confidence of even the most black-thumbed houseplant owner.

- 2***1 (399)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI did the buy 2, get 1 free sale and all the books were shipped together very securely. They were doubled bagged in bubble wrap envelops, and arrived very quickly. The books are in excellent condition; better than I expected coming from a second hand. The package also included a print out of my order that detailed the quality and any appearance issues noted by the seller. Overall, this was a very informative and transparent transaction.
- e***r (1096)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseGreat price on a recently published vegetarian cookbook. The condition exceeded my expectations-I would describe it as like new! My order arrived practically overnight in double layered packaging with thick bubble wrap. I’ve enjoyed browsing through many inviting recipes accompanied by high quality photographs…can’t wait to try some out! A++++ seller!
- s***o (185)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThis bookseller is the best of the big companies that I have experienced thus far. The books cost a little bit more than others but are worth it as they’re delivered in almost mint condition. (No bloodstains or rodent feces like some others I won’t name here) The time that it took for me to receive my order was exceptional compared to other massive bookstores. It was as if they actually cared about me getting my order in a timely manner. The books were double-wrapped neatly.
