Definitely a bed of roses,
By A Customer
This review is from: The RHS Encyclopedia of Roses (Hardcover)
This book is for you if you own a battered copy of Peter Beales' Classic Roses and, dare I say it, is actually better. Thorough, convincing and with excellent photographs, it also has very useful information on such details as the size of flowers, type of scent, and width as well as height of the plant. Habit (gangly, compact, etc.), disease resistance and preferred growing conditions are given in almost all--but not all!--cases. The text is very well laid out with varieties and species listed in alphabetical order and occasional historical digressions. Nowhere else will you find so many photographs of old roses, so it's also a sumptuous feast for any reader with some interest in roses; very good value for money. My only quibble is that not all known varieties are described.

Not a Revised Edition.,
This review is from: RHS Encyclopedia of Roses (Hardcover)
As an encyclopaedia of roses this is abook that a rose enthusiast will refer to time and time again. It is profusely illustrated and is a mine of information. I certainly would not want to be without a copy.However, if you already have a copy of the first or second editions you will not need this third edition: I could find nothing different in it from the two earlier versions.

Exactly the same book as "Encyclopedia of Roses" ISBN 978-0-7566-8868-4, By
This review is from: RHS Encyclopedia of Roses (Hardcover)
It is not a bad book as reference but is exactly the same book as "Encyclopedia of Roses" by DK in the United States published July 2011, ISBN 978-0-7566-8868-4, It is just two different covers. It should have been mentioned somewhere so that I would have bought only one book because I have ended up buying both and there is not a single line difference in two books other than the cover page.It is also missing several roses so it is not necessarily a complete encyclopedia. I am from Australia and have several famous roses in my garden such as Fire Fighter, Neptune, Sight Saver, Aotearoa, Barbra Streisand, John Paul II, dior essence by delbard but they are not listed. The book also talks about delbard roses but doesn't list all delbard roses, I couldn't find one of their famous roses called "Chartreuse de Parme" and many more. So in summary, it is not a complete encyclopedia. |

| Trending: Hardbacks vs e-books: the sequel | ||
 In the world of journalism it's called a "reverse ferret" - a story breathlessly announcing that Black is White, just 24 hours after confidently asserting that Black is Black. In the genteel environs of publishing, it's a volte-face. Whatever it is, James Daunt, owner of Daunt Books and managing director of the Waterstones chain, executed a classic twirl at the weekend.

We love flavorwire.com's new collection of "extremely silly photos of extremely serious writers", which shows that even Nobel Prize-winners kick back and let their hair down from time to time.

| Invisible Ink: No 124 - Hans Fallada | ||
|
His pen-name was created from two characters in Grimm's fairy tales, but his novels had little in common with the moralistic fantasies of mittel-Europe. Rudolf Ditzen was a magistrate's son, raised in Berlin and immersed in Dickens, Flaubert and Dostoevsky. He became one of the greatest German authors of the 20th century, but was not translated into English until 2009.

| The curious world of Norton Juster | ||
 Some people are very easy to interview. Norton Juster is not one of them. He's delightful and articulate, but listening to the recording of our time together, it's striking how much more interesting his answers are than my questions. So our conversation entirely failed to resolve classics such as "Where did the idea for your book come from?" and ended up instead about vocational education, bipolar disorder, obscure Edwardian ghost-story writers, C P Snow, synaesthesia and the walks Juster used to take with his older brother. In some respects, it's hardly surprising; Juster has been giving interviews about his children's classic The Phantom Tollbooth for half a century, so might be forgiven for wanting his conversations to roam elsewhere.

| How Aharon Appelfeld chronicled the Holocaust | ||
 Blooms of Darkness, in Green's graceful, grave and irresistibly readable English version, tells the story of Hugo, a young Jewish boy in an occupied town in eastern Europe who loses his parents to the camps but stays alive thanks to the shelter and salvation offered him by a local prostitute, Mariana. It extends and deepens one of the most remarkable journeys in all modern literature. In a prolific career whose highlights include novels such as Badenheim 1939, Tzili, The Immortal Bartfuss and The Iron Tracks, as well as the memoir The Story of a Life, Appelfeld has interrogated the meaning of what happened to him, to his community, and to humanity itself, during Europe's era of genocide.

| Gwendoline Riley: A portrait of the artist as a brooding young woman... | ||
 Gwendoline Riley was finishing her first novel at the age that most of us were sleeping in, bunking off, or congregating around a pint at the student union bar. Turning her university dissertation into her debut, Cold Water (2002) she signed a two-book deal at the age of 22. Since then, she has accumulated a hipster-ish following and several literary awards (Somerset Maugham Award, the Betty Trask Award, a John Llewellyn-Rhys Memorial prize shortlisted nomination).
