The authors of this book, Tom Cole and Tom Forrest, have spent considerable time in the bush of Uganda studying aloes and sansevierias. This book describes the aloes in this East African country in alphabetical order. It is well illustrated with numerous habitat photographs that go along with the descriptions. This cloth-bound edition is 176 pages long and well worth the small investment to learn about these plants, many of which are not long in cultivation. Shipping likely will be reduced to media or first class mail.
