Published in May 2004 by the Cactus & Co organisation. This is a major cooperative study of the Genus Turbinicarpus by a Mexican Society under the leadership of Dr Manuel Sotomeyer M. del C. surveying the genus in habitat and evaluating its conservation status. In the large 29.8 x 21cm format this publication keeps up the very high standard of production and illustration we have come to expect from Cactus and Co. It runs to 147 pages in a soft cover on high quality paper. The very detailed observation in the text obviously make this a work of scientific and conservation importance. I think anyone interested in Mexican cacti will want to have this in their library. Available from Cactus & Co in Europe. This book like all the Cactus & Co publications is exceptional value for money.
