From the reviews:
"This is now the fourth volume that has appeared of the six projected volumes of the Illustrated Handbook of Succulent Plants. ... having put together and coordinated this book is a major achievement which deserves the highest commendation. It is likely that this account will serve as an important reference work for many of these groups for a long time to come. ... an essential and attractive component of any up-to-date reference collection." (Peter V. Bruyns, Plant Systematics and Evolution, Vol. 237 (3-4), 2003)
"It is now the turn of an impressive and ponderous volume devoted to succulent dicotyledonous plants, edited by Urs Eggli. ... The appeal of the volume is further enhanced by the presence of several more genera either popular or challenging in cultivation ... with emphasis obviously placed on their succulent and caudiciform species." (Cactus & Co., Vol. 6 (4), 2002)
