The Feedback - Comments on The Book
From Mr. Speiro Dissanayake

"I am happy to say that you have done a wonderful job. It is one of the best books that I have come across on this subject.
* Packed with very useful tips on how to cultivate your own palm trees.
* Full description of appearance, structure and habitat.
* At-a-glance reference to trunk formation, leaf shape and height.
* Fully illustrated with colour photography showing these stunning trees at their best.
* Pronunciation of Botanical names.

Thank you again."


From Mr. Naveen Sooriyarachchi, Head of Corporate Finance, Commercial Bank of Ceylon Ltd

"I found the book "Palms for India", to be very interesting and informative. I love palms but unfortunately I am restricted in accumulating a collection due to lack of space.
Your book contains all the information required for a collector. Obviously, a lot of effort has gone into compiling the book, which I am sure, will be greatly appreciated by the readers.

I wish you every success in your future efforts in this direction."
