A quick glance at the captions of the pictures suggests that it could have
used a better editor. Lots of obscure juno irises are illustrated, so all is
forgiven.
The editing of many hort. books could use better editing, Jim. I am an
editor by profession, mostly of textbooks, and now do it entirely freelance. I
talked with representatives of Timber Press once about the possibility of taking
on some projects for them. I was told that they'd love to have that luxury,
but since the market for a single title is relatively small, they simply
couldn't afford me. I have no reason to believe that this isn't also true for
most hort. titles.
