Trade Review
"[Plants That Kill] will appeal to everyone interested in plants, from the amateur gardener to the professional botanist."---Barbara Paul Robinson, Wall Street Journal
"Elizabeth Dauncey and Sonny Larsson have provided the world with a book that is detailed and comprehensive in the information it supplies while, at the same time, is a model of simplicity in its outlay and in allowing the reader to find quickly the particular piece of information being sought. It has been a long time since I was as impressed as I am by Plants that Kill."---Ian Lipke, Queensland Reviewers Collective
