Stora Tulpanboken - Susanna Rosén
Nordsteds 2012
Lagom till tulpanensdag kom Susanna Roséns 17e (!) bok Stora Tulpanboken ut. Precis som titeln anger, så är den stor och innehålls rik. Över 200 olika tulpaner finns beskrivna.
Om du bara ska införskaffa en enda bok om tulpaner, så rekommenderar jag denna. Den innehåller allt du behöver veta om tulpaner. Dess ursprung och historia, vägen till Sverige, plantering, och skötsel. Hela 15 kapitel ägnas åt att beskriva om olika tulpangrupperna. Extra inspirerande är kapitlen om dom 4 tulpanentusiasterna och "skapa med tulpaner".
Men mest inspirerande är ju så klart alla underbara foton i boken. Nästan alla foton är tagna av Susanna själv. En del foton är sanslöst vackra, medan dom flesta saknar det där magiska. Men det är ju trots allt i första hand en gedigen faktabok och kanske inte en fotografiskbok.
5 rosor av 5 möjliga blir betyget. En fantastisk bok som borde finnas i varje tulpanälskare och varje trädgårdsentusiasts bokhylla!
Boken finns att köpa här.
The Big Tulip Book - Susan Rosen
Nordstedts 2012
Susanna Rosén's 17th (!) The Big Tulip Book was published just in time for the Tulips Day, here in Sweden. As the title indicates, the book is large and rich. More than 200 different tulips are described.
If you are only going to purchase one single book about tulips, I recommend this one. It contains everything you need to know about tulips. Its origin and history, the way to Sweden, planting, and nursering. 15 chapters are devoted to describing the various groups of tulips. Especially rewarding are the chapters about 4 tulip enthusiasts and "creating with tulips."
But most inspiring is certanily all the wonderful photos in the book. Almost all photos are taken by Susanna herself. Some photos are breathtaking, but most of them don't have that magic. After all it's primarily a solid fact book, and perhaps not a photographic book.
5 roses out of 5 is the score. A fantastic book that should be in every
