## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Written by the master of agave genus
  

*by C***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2024*

Gentry spent interminable years observing agaves from stem to flower in harsh environments and in his own yard in California. Truly a legend! The writing style is easy, though his botanical plant descriptions use difficult to understand botany terminology which are not uniform throughout the book which makes it difficult to compare agaves from one section to another. But considering the limitations of the time, its nothing short of fantastic and definitely THE agave bible. Some of the taxa have changed such as Agave bakeri, and so it may take some research to bring this to today's agave taxa, but that only adds to your knowledge. If you love agaves, read and study this book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Everything you wanted to know about Agave and then some!
  

*by W***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2015*

For anyone interested in the gritty detail of Agaves, up to and including scientific and academic rigor, look no further. This tome (and it is indeed a hefty one) has just about everything you could possibly want to know about almost every common (and many un-common) species and varieties. There is a reason that people refer to this book as the "Agave Bible" and after about five minutes of pouring through it, you will very likely agree with them. Gentry spent a significant portion of his life on the research and field studies that went into crafting this masterpiece, and you can genuinely identify with his passion for the subject whenever you dig into the entries in this book. It is extremely well written and the documentation is top rate, with everything from species descriptions, relevant history/cultural considerations, habitat, growth patterns and flowering, often covered via detailed drawings, photos (yes, they are black and white) and maps.If you're into Agave plants to any extent, whether as a gardener, collector, hobbyist, grower or simply an interested reader, you will find something here that is worthwhile. For the immense volume of information contained within, this paperback is fantastic value that should not be passed up.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    The Bible for Agaves
  

*by D***2 on Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2011*

This is a great reference for anyone interested in Agaves.  Yes, it is 1982; yes, there are no color photos.  But there is more information on Agaves in this book's 670 pages than most people can imagine, including habitat and distribution,  detailed descriptions, cultural uses, keys to various Agave groups, and much more.  If you love Agaves (or just studying them) you need this book.
