A review by lattelibrarian
Botanical Shakespeare: An Illustrated Compendium of All the Flowers, Fruits, Herbs, Trees, Seeds, and Grasses Cited by the World's Greatest P by Sumie Hasegawa Collins, Gerit Quealy

4.5

So I love Shakespeare, I love plants, and I love autographed things.  So clearly, I had to have this.  And oh my god.  If you love Shakespeare, buy this.  If you think Shakespeare's cool and you mostly just want something bougie looking to make you look smart, buy this.  It's beautiful and wonderfully put together and altogether stunning.  Quealy did a fantastic job of finding all of these quotes, and Collins similarly does a fantastic job with her illustrations. 

It was amazing to see which plants Shakespeare mentioned the most, and which the least.  Not only does Quealy include his plays, but his sonnets and longer poems as well.  I can't really get over its beauty.  When I have my own place, I dream of having a Shakespeare display and this is going to be one of the centerpieces, for obvious reasons.  Stunning, magnificent, beautiful.
