The first time i read the book is at a university library. Like u, i intend to read the book first. I must admit that it is the best book (for now) in keeping carnivorous plants, focusing on CPs other than Neps. However, there is a chapter focusing on Neps, but it is not as comprehensive as Charles Clarke's books.

Btw Ding, do take photos of N. Benstonei at Bkt Bakar!

After reading it it increased my interest in utricularias though. Now I want some haha. But really in my opinion, if you can only have 1 book on carnivorous plants, get The Savage Garden. It even has a sections at the end of each species chapter that gives a table of the info about how to grow the plants from soil recipes, to light, to terrariums, windowsill, outdoor and bog garden compatibility, and more.

But as any book goes...there ARE mistakes in it, so please dont think that Peter D'Amato is right about every single method. For example, he says Pinguicula gigantea is the only known Pinguicula with sticky leaves on BOTH sides...it is not. Pinguicula longifolia and certain forms of Pinguicula agnata are also sticky on both sides.

But overall it is a very good book and I hope everyone whose got it or gets it really enjoys it.

If you are from other state like Johor or Kelantan and still looking for this book. Try to order from them. Cheaper than getting it from Kino.
