I've been meaning to get a copy, but simply haven't had room in my discretionary budget yet. Sometime I hope.

That's the one I keep forgetting to pick up!
Just snagged a copy of Kullervo, which I expect to be fun and disappointing all at once (because there's no ending)...but the flora keeps escaping me.

I recall writing on another forum that it was coming out but that it was expensive. I didn't buy it then because of the cost.

It was me highly recommending it.
It's a father and son team. Dad is a botanist, son is an artist. The illustrations are woodcuts (or in that style), reminiscent of Tolkien's art style. The information is straight on Botany 101 for Middle-earth. You not only get a listing of every plant mentioned in the Legendarium, but a scientific break down of the plant, its uses, etc. And it shows more of Tolkien's genius, because he not only mapped Middle-earth, but apparently put the right kind of biomes in the right places, populated by all the right plants.
