Taunton, 1999

as practical as it is beautiful
Gorgeously illustrated with color photographs and garden design plans, "The Exotic Garden" convincingly maintains that the luxurious foliage, texture and bloom of tropical plants will work in any garden, providing you can give the plants house room during winter. There are separate chapters for designing tropical gardens, borders and beds, planting and caring for containers, and the care ...

Saving the Big Cats: The Exotic Feline Rescue Center (Quarry Books)

6 reviews
Stephen D. McCloud

Quarry Books, 2006

This book made me cry!
If you love big cats like I do this is the ultimate book. Filled with striking photographs and heart-wrenching-yet-uplifting stories, I was flooded with emotion as I read. Lots of emotions. This is not an easy read, especially when confronted with stories of people abusing these majectic animals or forcing them to travel en masse in the back of a Volkswagon van... but these lions, tigers, ...

Exotic Decorating
I think that anyone who has the slightest interest in decorating the interior or outdoor spaces of their homes should read this book. It is full of interesting ideas on how to decorate with exotic furniture, textiles, wallpapers, lighting, table settings, etc. Lots of good instruction what to do, what not to do and where and how to shop for those exotic treasures.

Tinkering with Eden: A Natural History of Exotics in America

10 reviews
Kim Todd

W. W. Norton & Company, 2001

Eye opening.
It's such a good feeling knowing how things happen. Kim Todd has written an engaging, interesting, well researched eye opener of a book. And, just imagine, we (so called evironmentalists and experts) haven't yet learned the lesson of not "Tinkering with Eden". Truly a must read.

Alfred Byrd Graf

Roehrs Company, 1978

Tropica Color Cyclopedia of Exotic Plants and Trees
I own the 5th edition. I glanced through a few pages (after having spent hours on the Internet researching tropical plants for my personal tropical garden) and had to buy it right then and there! I did not want to chance not being able to find it again. It's the best! I can't foresee ever having to wonder what any other tropical plant looks like! I've found plants in this book that I could ...

Positive,Responsible Private Ownership
After reading this book,I became aware that ,indeed,there are responsible private exotic cat owners in this country,willing to share their experiences,dedication to the exotic cat,knowledge and education they have requried. Some stories are sad,some funny but overall,show that private ownership of an exotic cat is a lifetime committment and one to be taken seriously.

How to Master Airbrush Painting Techniques (Motorbooks Workshop)

5 reviews
JoAnn Bortles

Motorbooks, 2007

This book is a great buy!
I'll start off by saying I keep picking up this book over and over. The Troubleshooting chapter is so detailed. It covers nearly every problem I have ever had with an airbrush. I have other airbrush books and none of them have this much "fix it" info. That one chapter has saved me so much time and stress. The rest of the book is great also. One of the learning chapters has a really fun exercise ...

Indian Lowfat Cooking: The Key to a Healthy and Exotic Diet

Roshi Razzaq

Book Sales, 1993

This is fabulous
We love Indian food but I had never cooked it before. We needed to change our way of eating after some family health scares. Low fat is no fun if it's also low flavor. Roshi Razzaq's beautiful book and clear recipes introduced me to a whole new way of cooking and eating - low fat but incredibly delicious. She has even given me the confidence to try my own combinations. Indian food has gone from a ...

Innes

Dutton Adult, 1985

Useful for decades!
I first read the Innes Book, as we called Exotic Aqaurium Fishes by Dr. William T. Innes back then, in the late 70's, in its 19th edition. I was a teenage hobbyist back then, and the book was biblical to me and my peers. Recently, I discovered my old copy in a box of books we had stored in the garage, and was delighted to flip throught the pages and see that I could still learn new things ...

Exotic Sugar Flowers for Cakes

5 reviews
Alan Dunn

Merehurst Limited, 2000

5 stars for the flowers ... a few less for the cakes
Although, in all fairness, he is not writing this (or any other book) focusing on the cakes. However, most of us who are practicing cake decorators rather than competing sugar flower artists eventually want to end up using these creations on or around a cake, and that's where this book, or any book by Alan Dunn, is unable to inspire. He's clearly a botanist at heart who's simply chosen a ...

Singapore (Exotic Asia Series)

5 reviews

Weatherhill, 2000

A must-bring
If you ever go to Singapore, don't forget to bring this book. Even if you have been there many times (I have), you will always find new and interesting sights to visit and new information you didn't know about. What I like most is the detailed map section that covers most of the central city, that is the part you would want to visit as a tourist anyway. The street-by-street pictorial maps are ...
