Query: Unless you're a Master Gardener bypass this book.

If you're looking for some insight into the 1600's tulip craze before making a trip to the Netherlands, this is NOT the book to buy. Try "Tulipomania" by Mike Dash instead. His version is way more entertaining and easy to understand. I know Anna Pavord's book is well-regarded, but for amateur gardeners and people who are mainly interested in discovering WHY the bulb frenzy occurred, her phone-book size tome is way over the top w/information. I found it plodding and skimmed many pages only to find that she hadn't answered the key question of how the craze developed. Skip this mega-volume and try the other unless you're a serious horticulturalist.
