And it certainly is complete. There must be at least 10 % of things in there that I've never heard of!.
It's an amazing reference book from three of the most renown gardners currently.
It goes through alphabetically in Latin, which can be a pain, however use the index and everything works out OK.
Each entry gives propagation,growing guide, history, culinary uses (including recipes!), medical uses and warnings.
An incredible piece of work, and I note that Amazon have it reduced at £11.54 You can not be robbed.
