What a scary thought--I had enough trouble with the line drawings in
the Droseraceae issue of _Das Planzenreich_. Two of the best books
that are available right now are Adrian Slack's _Carnivorous Plants_
and Gorden Cheers's _Carnivorous Plants of the World_. And, despite
all that's been said about it, Lecoufle's book has, if nothing else,
some very nice pictures.
