- 1,312 pages

More than two decades were spent in writing and producing Hortus Third. It is the outgrowth of a program of research in the systematics of cultivated plants, initiated in the late nineteenth century by Liberty Hyde Bailey and continuing today within the framework of his philosophy that knowledge in basic science should be made available to society as a whole. Hortus Third is for advanced horticulturists and others interested in cultivated plants, including horticultural and garden writers, gardeners, nurserymen, landscape architects, botanists, and professional scientists in universities, botanical gardens, extension services, and government.
Customer Reviews:
One of the most important reference books I own........2001-11-27
Hortus Third isn't perfect. I wish it had more drawings and I wish it included more non-cultivated plants.
That said, Hortus Third is probably the most important garden/botany reference book I own. I am a professional garden writer & speaker (author of Allergy-Free Gardening) and Hortus is one book I turn to almost daily. I now and then do find some things in it that I don't completely agree with, but by and large it is very accurate.
Hortus is an expensive book, and not really one for the casual gardener, but for those whose interest is deep, it is worth the money--and then some.
My own copy of Hortus Third is pretty well dog-eared by now from so much use. I have given it only 4 stars as a rating, and that is because I, like many, wish it included more natives, but still, there is no other book quite like it and it is a very useful, important reference that I simply could not do without.
The BEST plant book available!.......2000-03-28
If you're *seriously* interested in plants (i.e., a plant "nerd")and love learning about the technicalities of plant families, similarities, differences, etc., then this book is for you. It's not for wimps! It's fascinating to study, and a great read if plants are your world.

TimeOut Sydney is Great Any Time.......2000-09-04
The TimeOut Guide to Sydney, as with all TimeOut Guides I've used, is great. It is well organized, making it easy to locate your specific interests. The information is consice but clear enough to make sure you are well informed. Maps, which are crucial to any guidebook, are included at the end of TimeOut Sydney. These maps layout the city well, with bright colors and clear text. It is the perfect guide for those in their college years or 20's. The Guide offers information on nightlife and cultural events of interest to such an age group. Beyond simply providing information, TimeOut is cleverly written. It is enjoyable reading.

Book Description
The core values at the heart of the Anderson Collection - one of the most important private art collections in the United States - can be described as the tension between abstraction and figuration and an interest in the artist's hand. This beautiful catalog from the San Francisco MOMA, features masterpieces by Pollock, Stella, Rauschenberg, Giacometti, Diebenkorn, Lichtenstein, Warhol, and many more. There is an informative essay on the history of the collection, plus eleven additional pieces that offer a focused look at specific works such as Nolde's Head of a Woman, Pollock's Lucifer, and Jasper John's Land's End.

Lots of Info on Shih Tzu.......2007-01-22
Jo Ann White is the Shih Tzu expert! This book tells you everything you need to know about the Shih Tzu. A must have for someone who is seriously considering this breed of dog.
I was very disappointed.......2006-12-08
I have to say with this book. While it seems like everyone else here thought it was wonderful, for me it offered very little pet advice and tons on showing and competition. I was looking for a book on how to raise a shih tzu as a pet and I have zero interest in breeding or showing, which are the groups for whom this book seems to have been written. If that's your goal then I wholely recommend it (which is why I gave the two stars rather than one), but if you're like me and the 98% of shih tzu owners who are looking for a pet based book, there are many better ones out there (for much less money, might I add!).
Shih Tzu Bible.......2006-03-10
Excellent resource for the Shih Tzu fancier and prospective owners. Relates everything from their orgin, care, grooming, how to "tie" a top knot, whelping, agility, etc. etc. Cannot recommend enough. Great book.
The only Shih Tzu book you need.......2005-05-18
This book covers everything about the shih tzu standard. It gives detailed pictures on all the aspects of the shih tzu. this book is 5x bigger then any other shih tzu book. this bok is a must if you are getting a shih tzu or show dog.
furbabyluvr.......2002-10-23
Very informative about the origins and showing of the shih tzu. I would have liked more in depth information on breeding but otherwise very good book with nice laminated pages and 100's of photos all in color. Overall very pleased with this book and would recommend highly.
Product Description
92 pages, paperback, 6 1/2" x 8". All you need to know about feeding, training, grooming and caring for your dog's health. Special features include professional color photos, helpful sidebars and lists and expert tips.

Great 1st Book.......2000-11-25
This is a great book for the new Shih Tzu owner - breeders should think about adding it to the new puppy packets they give to new owners - pretty color pictures
More than expected.......2000-07-10
Having bought several other Shih Tzu books, I didn't have great expectations of this one. I was wrong. This book provided information without "selling" useful products. Information on picky eaters, whelping and training was very useful.
Customer Reviews:
A Primer on the Shih Tzu.......2000-06-12
"Dr. Ackerman's Book of Shih Tzu" is a good starting point. It has excellent photos illustrating dental hygiene, nail trimming, ear cleaning and paw trimming. This book gives good suggestions on choosing a puppy and the Shih Tzu's nutrition. If you are a beginner with this breed and just want an overall view, this would be a good book to start with.
A very good and sufficient SHIH TZU book!.......2000-04-11
I have dreamed of owning a shih tzu eversince I laid my eyes on that breed. Then, one day, I decided to get one for myself, thinking and I really thought that am already prepared and have the knowledge for the task of owning one. Yet behold! I was wrong, I found myself having lots of question pertaining to this breed. I began searching for books and eventually found this adoring and very helpful book that answered all my troubles and worries about my shih tzu. I have read the book from cover to cover yet am still continuing to read it as day goes by, I just can't help but read all over again. The book contains Everything you need to know about THE BREED, HOW TO TAKE CARE, FEED, GROOM, BREED, ETC. This is a fantastic book and I totally recommend it to you SHIH TZU LOVERS! Godbless!

Disappointed with inaccuracies re NZ / AUS toys.......1997-12-29
I am a NZ collector and have kept records for last 5 1/2 years which do not agree with descriptions, dates and other catalog info published in this book. Having written to Author with correction list, like a few others have also done, I was disappointed with the total nil-response. Many NZ collectors are still trying to find toys that were never released here, though the book says otherwise. Pictures etc still helpful for reference regarding some countries.
Expand your collection with non-US toys!.......1997-11-23
You may have never thought you'd find a "foreign" McD's toy at a garage sale in Kansas, but it happens! Sometimes European toys are used as fill-ins here in the US, or someone may have taken a vacation and eaten at McD's! The foreign toys are very exciting and even if they parallel a promo in the US (such as Disney's "Aladdin"), they aren't always the same toys. Full-color photos let you know exactly what you have and what you need to finish that set.
A great book........1997-07-07
This book includes lots and lots of pictures of Happy Meal Toys issued around the World. The ckeck-off boxes make it very easy to organize and keep track of your collection. It is also very useful in finding out which toys were issued and when
