The illustrations are beautiful. The writing is so tiny it’s almost impossible to read even with my, super enhanced reading glasses. I’m having to buy a magnifying glass to be able to read the print. It’s also not easy to look up the flowers unless you know all the variation names of those flowers. It took me a few attempts to find chamomile with the help of google. It’s a good solid book and the pages are luxurious. All in all it’s very pretty, but not user friendly.
Thank you for your feedback on the book. We’re pleased to hear that you appreciated the beautiful illustrations and the quality of the pages. However, we’re sorry to learn that the tiny print and difficulty in locating specific flowers have made the book less user-friendly. If you have any further concerns or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Kind regards, Alice.
