Summary: The Most Beautiful Book
Comment: This is not only the most beautiful garden book I have ever seen, it is the most beautiful book I've ever seen. The fact that this book demonstrates the satisfaction of gardening and nurturing plants, the spirituality of connecting with the natural world and every aspect of propagation in step-by-step photographs is beyond belief. This is certainly the greatest gardening book of this century, so far. It is THE gift for my friends this Christmas. Next year, I'll give them plants.

Summary: Everyone can learn something from this book
Comment: The title of this book says it all and the book, as unbelievable as it may be, delivers it all. Whether you want to learn about propagation by seed, cutting, layering, grafting, division, leaves, roots or how to propagate geophytes, the clear, detailed instructions and step-by-step photos will get you working in no time. Ken Druse, gardener and photographer extraordinaire, has packed this book with photos and has not started in on the details without providing plenty of preparation tips including information on seed collecting and storing and a quick botany lesson. And Druse doesn't leave you guessing about how to propagate the plants you want - an extensive appendix fills you in on the best methods for specific plants by listing them alphabetically. Making More Plants is incredibly useful as both a quick reference and as a gardening textbook for learning more complex techniques.

Summary: Making More Plants: The Science, Art, and Joy of Propagation
Comment: This is an O.K. book, the pictures are great, but the information is lacking. It covers the basics, yet it is too artsy, great coffe table book for the Martha Stewart-set. The writting is to flowery for me, I want information, not Ken drooling over some guy in Colorado..Oh Kelly this and Kelly that, he can make wood grow in my pants. Or Ken bragging about the property he bought...Blah, blah, blah, to much editorial and not enough substance, especially for the price! I was hoping for a lot more for thirty five bucks and to think it was selling for fifty, Holy Cats!!!, Highway robbery! No wonder he can afford the property he bragged about. I plan to wrap this one up and give to one of my gay friends for Christmas and buy something else with more meat and less stuffing!
