Review

I wish I had knowledge of more superlatives so that I could adequately praise this book. It is brilliant.The writing is clear, informative and professional. The editing was perfect. I learned so much even though I have grown plants for fifty years plus.The printing is top notch- beautiful layout, superb font and high quality printing. In case you haven't noticed, these qualities are in short supply these days and it delights me when I see them.The book is hysterically funny, and I mean laugh out loud, snorting, gleeful laughing. Enid would be a hoot to hang out with.Brava, Ms. Offolter. You have produced a classic.I wish Amazon would let me buy more stars to give you!
