"Aroids: Plants of the Arum Family" by Deni Brown.
What can anyone tell me about this book? There is a paperback
edition available from Amazon.com, and I'm wondering if I should get
a copy. My Aroid interests include Amorphopahllus and Zantedeschia
as well as Arisaema.

Dear Jim,
If you want a survey of the family it is excellent. Try for
the 2nd edition.
There's an excellent book devoted to the Genus Arisaema that
is specific.
And the Int Aroid Soc special issue on Amorphs is still the
best on that topic.
BUT if you just want general info about a few more common
species the RHS A-Z of Plants has a lot of good info.
$34 seems a bit high for this. Jim W.
