Perfect for kids!.......1999-09-20
My 8-year-old son was so fascinated by this book. It has the animals' pictures and their information on facing pages, so you don't have to flip back and forth between pictures/information as with many field guides. My son read this book until it fell apart, and I ended up buying him several others in the series.

Frommer's Italy - By Jai Kapadia.......2006-10-03
Having grown up in Italy for 15 years, I think I understand the place really well, but I still learnt a lot from this book. Great indepth coverage on restaurants, hotels and places to visit. Plus the color maps are very useful.
Should have bought it earlier.......2006-04-19
This is a great book for planning your travel. I wish I'd bought it before I'd booked my leave. The only downside I can think of is the included map. From the product description I thought it would be of all Italy but it's only a map of Rome.
Very complete travel guide!.......2006-03-16
Frommer's Italy 2006 is a very complete and easy to read travel guide. I especially enjoyed the restaurant tips (off the beaten track and very "Italian") and the maps.
To be even more appealing and to obtain 5 stars, it would have to have more pictures to get a better impression of the sites.
Going to Italy.......2006-03-09
If you are planning a trip to Italy, this is a book you should take with you.
Same old stuff.......2006-02-02
I have a copy of Frommer's Italy '98 and it reads almost exactly the same as the "new and improved" 2006 edition. The copy is virtually unchanged under the section Best Travel Experiences. Apparently, the only changes that have been made are the lire is now the euro and the prices have been updated on food and lodging. I guess this book would be helpful if it's your one and only choice.

Inspiration for a Complete Makeover.......2007-07-21
While South Central Texas (San Antonio) isn't a coastal area (and isn't exactly a "moderate" climate, either), Latymer's book has proven to be a good resource for our area. The pictures helped me to visualize what could be, and the plant lists have been invaluable for choosing plants. While I've always loved "digging in the dirt," no one ever would have accused me of being an accomplished gardener. But that didn't stop me. Thanks to the inspiration I found in Latymer's book, I've been working steadily at replacing my grassy front yard with a Mediterranean-style water-wise garden. And now, many of my neighbors are interested in doing the same. They think my yard is gorgeous. And so do I.
Good Reference Work.......2006-08-10
This book is a good reference for moderate coastal areas (we are on the Palos Verdes Peninsula in So. Cal.) The reference area (2/3 of the book) is well organized with lots of photos. Latymer has divided Mediterranean plants into sections on trees, palms, sbrubs, etc. The reader can look at a choice of plants for a particular application, which are grouped together.
Valuable plant information.......2005-08-10
The most valuable thing about this book for me was the extensive plant list which contained good information about size, growing speed, minimum temperatures, water need and descriptions of the plant itself sometimes including information about propagation. The list is devided in different chapters for trees, shrubs, climbers, palms, cacti and succulents, perrenials and annuals which made it very easy to use while planning a garden.
The information chapters are mainly oriented on style and design though even some chapters about soil and water are included which contain valuable knowledge.
Our Best Gardening Book.......2004-09-17
Can't beat this for our climate (So. Calif. by the beach) for trustworthy info. Hugo is dead-on! We own zillions of gardening books and this is by far my personal favorite.
The Mediterranean Gardener.......2000-06-09
This book is an absolute delight, as much for the prose as for the glorious photographs. As well as recommendations for planting in various Mediterranean conditions, the author gives splendid professional advice on local problems such as water shortage, salt air damage and so on.
If you have had failures in your ex-pat. garden through trying to acclimatise plants which only thrive in more northerly regions, this book will help you never again to make those mistakes.
No-one should be without it; I have two of them. Yvonne Gregson.
