From the contents:
after the introduction to carnivorous plants (covering their history in horticulture, why they are carnivorous etc.), the book is divided into three parts - Part I is on the basics of cultivation, covering soils, pottery, photoperiod, grow lights and things like that; Part II reviews where you can grow carnivorous plants, such as greenhouses, terrariums, windowsills, outdoors and so on; Part III reviews all genera of CP and their specific cultivation requirements rather extensively. An appendix covering resources, laws, tissue culture, etc.A great book for any CPer. Some spelling mistakes, e.g. N. bicalcurata instead of N.bicalcarata, U. reinformis for U. reniformis. Review CPN 27(3), 1998, p.72-3 by Barry Meyers-Rice: "I tell you to run, not walk, to the nearest bookseller and buy D'Amato's new book...".
