Question for all those who find his reviews valuable: What is it about them that you so value? I've gone through a few, and they're rather short and nondescript. I can get a much better sense of whether a book is of interest to me from an Amazon page. |

I would have never come across that book, but the single sentence "Not only did I learn from it an immense amount of botany (including much of the anatomy and taxonomy that I had never previously retained)" made this an immediate addition to my Amazon list.
This single sentence already makes the review valuable to me.
I've previously read https://shop.rhs.org.uk/books/general-gardening/beginners-gu... (Gorgeous illustrations! Fantastic explanations!) and this seems to be a great follow-up to taxonomy, since I'm also interested in evolution (see also Danny's reviews of Gould's books).
