This book remains the Definitive Begonia Book. The information on the culture of begonias has stood the test of time. I agree with the other comments about this being the "Begonia Bible". I find myself using it as a guide and reference time and again. A must-have for the serious begonia enthusiast. Plus, the authors' love of this wonderful plant family just shines throughout the text!
Begonia Bible
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This book is a must for serious begonia growers. It is a begonia growers bible. The Thompson's spent years compiling this now out of print book and there is nothing like it in print. It does not contain the newest varieties but the culture information and pictures make the begoniac drool with envy.

Begonias: A Complete Reference
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This book is the ultimate reference to the genus Begonia, or is at least for the moment! Our indoor gardening association calls it "the Begonia bible" for good reason; her scholarship and research has yet to be surpassed and she documents most of the many species now in cultivation. In addition, it has a wealth of color and black and white pictures for positive identification. Well worth the search for this out-of-print gem of a resource!
