Customer Reviews

Irresstible

Being in the book business for many years, I try not to get overly excited by a pretty cover but as I browsed through FLYING FLOWERS, it literally took my breath away. This is a dazzling, spectacularly beautiful book. I bought it for my sister as a special birthday present. Share it as a source of beauty and inspiration; buy it for yourself as a gorgeous gift for no reason and every reason.

Beautiful large coffee table book

The pictures of these butterflies and moths are wonderful to look at and some are amazingly close-up. I gave it as a gift, and it's just perfect for someone who loves colorful and artistic photos and wants to know only the name and location of the various types. If you're looking for more in-depth informative detail of butterflies and moths, this book isn't for you. The emphasis of this book is on the digitally mastered photos of butterflies/moths from all over the world.

Gift quality

I originally sent this to a friend for Christmas. Then I saw it in person and was enticed to buy one for my own collection. You will find it exquisitely illustrated. We will spend many afternoons enjoying this unusual book.

Stunningly detailed photos! Great gift for anyone!

I really enjoyed the detail in each of the photos of this book. In addition, each was labeled with the type of butterfly as well as where they are typically found. There are also a few very appropriate quotes in this beautiful coffee table edition. I received it as a gift, and I think it would make a great gift for anyone - older children interested in bugs, curious adults or even grandparents. This book is for anyone who enjoys the beauty in nature!

A wounderful book

This is a gorgous book. A totall mosaic of color and stunning details. Its increadible how the artist here captures the smallest pixles of a buterfly's wing. It a book to keep around for when you just need to look at something beutiful.
