Reader comments
I particularly like the beautiful plant portraits in the book, as well as the historical and cultural stories about spice plants, which opened my eyes. However, I don't like some of the presentation methods in the book, it feels a bit too professional. Overall, this is a good book worth reading, especially for someone like me who is interested in spice plants.
