You might want to check out the Timber Press webpage for more details. Or
see what Amazon may have in the way of preview pages, etc.
I have not seen the book yet, but, unless it has some glaring flaws, I'd
expect it to be hot for a while since most folks gravitate toward colorful
pictures. That said, it is not cheap, Timber does not hit the bullseye every time,
and I think it is always advisable to examine this sort of thing before
ordering.
The author is daughter of the prominent British rosarian and has run a
nursery for some time. As I recall, she holds the UK National Collection of
bearded irises.
Although I am interested in historic irises, and have a collection of
literature on the subject, I passed on her earlier book, "Classic Irises."
