Full Color Photos Throughout
The book is filled with over 100 photographs taken by lotus lovers and growers from
around the world.
Using an international mix of photos from both Nelumbo experts and artistic
photographers makes for an interesting and beautiful book.
Some images educate the reader, while others bring the true beauty of lotus to life,
often from an unusual perspective. They explain and compliment the text.
For example, here is the image that shows
how the leaves microscopically repel water --
the Lotus Effect.
The extra space provides room for a stamp
or clear label with your contact information
or a promotional message.
... full of magnificent
images and most of all it
is full of factual & easy
to understand language.
