Lisa, Dr. Kohji Karasawa is one of the most respected botanist in the world with many books and papers published in peer reviewed publications, so I would never even imagine someone calling his work sloppy. The book is 26.5 cm X 37 cm (approximately 101/2 X 14 1/2 inches) and contains 298 exceptional color pictures, many full page, with descriptions in both Japanese and English. I have the set and I treasure it.
