I purchased this book because I have seen it cited in the reference section of many books of this kind. I find it simply excellent and I encourage everyone who wants to learn the scientific base of adventitious root formation in cuttings to buy this book. It should be bought though by either a post-graduate student, a PhD student or a researcher, in order to be fully appreciated. Everyone who does research on adventitious rooting on cuttings must have it.
