The cactus handbook Erik Haustein
The cactus handbook Erik Haustein
Although I purchased this book many months ago (Cheap on Amazon used), it has become one of my favorites. I like the way the families and individual species are organized. This is especially the case for Mammillarias with the organization by tribes. Although this is an old book 1986 and the taxonomy has chaned I continue to use it as a nearly daily resource. The nomenclature, anatomy in the introduction are helpful for someone who had their basic botany course in 1965. Bobby Z

I agree. I bought one (or was it a present?) in around 1990, and I referred to it far more than any other book for a long time and I still pull it off the shelf now and then. For anyone wanting to get their head round the diversity of the Cactaceae and its more obscure genera it's peerless in its price range.
