This was a great book. I got it as a gift. I think the person who gave it to me will be understanding when she finds out that I decided to pass it on.

This book has been chosen by a fellow Book Crossing member. As soon as I get an address I'm going to be sending it off.

Release planned for Tuesday, September 03, 2002 at Mailbox of fellow book crossing member in Palatine, Illinois USA.

The book arrived -- to my business address -- and I am like a child at Christmas! I enjoyed A Natural History of the Senses, so was delighted that Trip-Lit made this available to me. Can't wait to start it, and my mind is dancing with possibilities of where to release it . . .or to whom. I love gardening but am quite an amateur . . . don't know if my gardening friends will honor the bookcrossing code . . .so I may have to let this one run its own course! Thank you Trip-Lit (both of you!).

Ackerman's lyrical writing is worth reading. I have to say I found myself time and again wondering "how did we get here?" I found this rambling and her insistence on naming all her roses repeatedly a bit much and attribute it to the vague nature of anyone writing the "natural history of their garden." As fellow 'crosser Debrayn requested this book, I will put it in the mail to her tomorrow.

Rreleased to me by fellow bookcrosser "Red" - Looking forward to reading another book by Diane Ackerman
