Absolutely! One of my favorite books!

But I notice that most of the emphasis here is on books with literary merit. 
I judge a book by whether it migrates to the pile by my chair ready for 
instant reference, and most are encyclopedic reference types. Wyman's 
certainly, but the book I turn to most often for a quick ref is Sunset's 
National Garden Book. For some reason the roll out of this book never took 
off, and it's a shame.
