solomon Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I'm always on the hunt for books on cacti, in particular ones with illustrations rather than photos.I'm going to post some of the nice illustrations I find on the net in this thread, I encourage others (EG I know you've got to have some stuff like this) to do the same.Probably a good idea not to infringe copyright. here are a lot of older books uploaded as PDFs to legit sites out there.These are from the Missouri Botanical Gardenhttp://www.illustrat...ooks/browse.asp© 1995-2012 Missouri Botanical Gardenhttp://www.illustratedgarden.org 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
