Trout's Notes on San Pedro & Related Trichocereus Species... ISBN 0977087603 NEW
Oversize Paperback. Brand New book! ISBN 0977087603. Rare. Third edition.
Oversize softcover book with 310 pages containing almost 900 B&W photos. This work covers the San Pedro cactus and its relatives, detailing the botany, psychoactive chemistry and history of these special cacti. This material has seen a huge expansion in the third edition. This book is the single most comprehensive and detailed review & reference compendium that exists regarding the San Pedro cactus (Trichocereus pachanoi) and its close relatives.
Not considered a beginners book on how to grow, but simply the best resource in San Pedro identification ever written.
The full title of this book: Trout's Notes on San Pedro and Related Species - A Guide to Their Visual Recognition with Notes on Their Botany, Chemistry and History gives an insightful indication of its true content. The blurb on the back cover states: "More than you need to know." This is certainly true, unless the reader wants all of the very exhaustive, detailed information about the Trichocereus species, subspecies, strains, varieties, field identification, botanical classification and the naming of the cacti, and so on, and on, and on. Comprehensive is the operative word here, and very detailed. A digest for experts, researchers and cacti connoisseurs. With almost 900 photos, worth maybe a thousand words each, it delivers in more ways than one.
A must have for any true devotee of this species. RARE.
