It's a great book. It has replaced "The Iris" by Brian Mathew
(he is also one of the 20 contributers to this book) as my first
reference for species iris. If you're really into species and feel
you can justify the outrageous price, its a nice book to have!
Otherwise, if you don't already own it, try to find a second
hand copy of Mathew's book.
