by J C Loudon, Editor Return to list Adopt this book

This complete encyclopaedia includes all the plants indigenous, cultivated in, or introduced to Britain at the time of its publication. Ten-thousand species are explored and finely illustrated. A perfect adoption for anyone interested in plants.

I use the British Library often for research, but I LOVE adopting books as gifts for people. My most recent adoption was in honor of my English professor in college. I am not just a literary scholar because of her influence--I am also a better human being.

My daughter and I both love the ambiance of the British Library and feel proud to be Readers. Supporting the Adopt a Book scheme is the least I can do.
