1,000 Common Delusions: And the Real Facts Behind Them

1 review
Christa Poppelmann

Firefly Books, 2006

Misinformation mixed with sub-par trivia
I'm a big fan of trivia, and I love collecting trivia books. Books that challenge popular misconceptions are always fun as well, so this book, with its promise to debunk "1,000 delusions" seemed like it would be an engaging read. The problem is, the author clearly had a hard time coming up with 1,000 misconceptions. There are many legitimate debunkings in this book, such as "lemons contain the ...

You'll Keep Going Back For More
I have owned this book for several years and I finally decided to write a review on it now. Why did I wait so long? Well, this is not the kind of book that you'll likely pick up right away and read all the way through. In fact, I constantly find myself going back to this book whenever I'm bored. It's fun, even after many years, to flip to an album cover and read all of the interesting details on ...

Firefly Books, 1999

A reader from Michigan
Great pictures and a worthy book. This book describes the benefits of growing native plants and has beautiful photos. I am always in a quest to find and identify native plants to Michigan and this book is a terrific asset. It differs from wildflower books as it strictly focuses on the native plant and not the non-native yet wild. I would like to see the author write a larger more ...

Wonderful Resource!
This book is very informative, and a must have if you want to work with your dog without paying a professional trainer. The picture illustrations are a perfect compliment to the written instructions. I especially liked the detail given about other obedience issues such as dog language and how aggression begins between dogs. This book is a permanent addition to our living room reading material!

500 Cacti: Species and Varieties in Cultivation

2 reviews
Ken Preston-Mafham

Firefly Books, 2007

A VERY HANDY BOOK TO HAVE AROUND.
This is quite an impressive little book. As the title tells us, it addresses 500 cacti. Now no book can cover them all. There are thousands of cacti genus out there. This work though goes along way in giving good information to the amature collector, grower, or in my case, photographer of these wonderful plants. The book is set up alphabetically by genus, but the wonderful photographs are ...
