Aloe, Cactus & Succulent Society of Rhodesia/Zimbabwe -  Excelsa
The theoretically annual, but in practice sporadic, journal of the society, supplemented by 4 occasional issues in the taxonomic series . In addition to publication dates being erratic so has been the size of the journal, and also due to the limitations of the production technology the physical condition (sepecially of the earlier issues) can sometimes be less perfect than other similar journals from other parts of the world, so copies may not be pristine – but any major faults will be mentioned. 9 ½ x 7 ¼

Esler, Milton & Dean (Eds) -  Karoo Veld - Ecology and Management
Although intended as a guide to land owners as to how to preserve their land and vegetation for their animals, you probably wouldn’t get that impression from looking through is as most of the book gives good information for those interested in the local flora! From the ecology of Karoo Veld – climate, geology etc – it then describes how various types of plants grow and the vegetation can change. There are many colour photos of plants, and habitats. OK there is much information about stock keeping, but I don’t think the succulent enthusiast would be disappointed! 9 ½ x 8 ¼ 214 pages

Is this the best South African plant book produced so far? OK, a contentious question as there have been many marvellous books on their equally marvellous plants, but the size, content and illustrations make it a strong contender. The country is divided in to three regions – “Land of plenty”, “Fynbos Country” and “The Thirstlands”, and each in then divided in to around 15 areas, and each region and area is described in to relation to its climate and geology, and the plants that grow there by well know botanist John Manning. And it is very well illustrated with many good colour photos from Colin Paterson Jones. 2004 12 x 11 176 pages

Pakenham, Thomas -  The Remarkable Baobab
Whilst this well known author was going round the world looking at the trees to include in his marvellous book “Remarkable Trees of the World”, he fell in love with the Baobabs with the result that he devoted a book to just these trees. In addition to the African specie, which is probably the best known, he also saw 3 of the Madagascar species (slimmer and less craggy than the African trees) and the Australian specie (sort of mid way in form). As usual with this author, it is well written, and full of wonderful colour photos. Another interesting and attractive tree for Christmas reading. 143 pages 8 ¾ x 7 ¼ 2004

Pritchard, Albert -  Monadenium
A marvellous book on these little known mainly East African plants which last had a book devoted to them nearly 50 years ago. Although they’ve been recently reclassified as Euphorbias, the author sticks to their more familiar Monadenium names (except for two species named since the reclassification) with the new name consigned to the end of their descriptions and an appendix. After a brief introduction on what a Monadenium is, the majority of the book is an A-Z of the species with habitat and description and concise cultivation comments where known. The book finishes with a brief general cultivation section. It is all very well illustrated with many good colour photos and some botanical illustrations, some quite large format.

These are the marvellous two volumes from the person who knew the islands so well for forty years starting from the time before the large scale loss of habitat really took hold. Volume 1 covers the North and central Plateau areas of succulent plants, and volume 2 continues in to the southern and southwest areas. A wide variety of plants are included, many highly regarded by Cactus etc growers whilst a few of the zerophytic species may be unfamiliar but none the less fascinating. These large format volumes are sumptuously illustrated with many good colour photos, and are a delight to look at. 12 ¼ x 9 ¼ Volume 1 1995 - 343 pages, Volume 2 1998 - 385 pages Please note that Strawberry Press books are quite heavy and vulnerable to their corners being "bumped" in transit. I’m afraid that I cannot guarantee that there is no minor bumping on the copies I supply, but for those books with more serious damage I have reduced the price accordingly.
