THE BOOK OF DRIED FLOWERS is the most practical and most beautiful book ever produced on the subject. It contains a complete guide to the techniques of drying and arranging flowers -- and also gives advice on how to grow flowers in the garden for drying.

The introductory section includes an exquisite photographic color-by-color guide to all the flowers that can be used in arrangements, as ell as other plant material such as grasses, leaves, fruits and seedheads.

Thereafter, the book is packed with examples of arrangements that the authors have created, bringing new style and creativity to a long-established craft. There are schemes for different settings and seasons, for special occasions and on different themes -- all guaranteed to lend color and interest to interiors throughout the year. And there are clear step-buy-step instructions for making the displays, as well as the secrets of design and technique that make for arrangements with a truly professional finish.
