The new book, “Perfection of the Finite”, on flower arrangements by none other than Ed Merrin has hit bookstores. Or, at least in this case, the New York Botanical Garden’s bookstore.

Ed Merrin has been a long-time philanthropist, but also — together with his wife, Vivian, they’ve been avid gardeners and florists.

I haven’t had a chance to get my hands on the book yet, but when I do — I will post a full review. Looking at the NYBG’s website, the images they’ve selected out of the book look fabulous — photos of Ed Merrin’s works were taken by Ismael Ramirez, an artist in his own right.

Here’s something to look forward to when the book begins appearing in bookstores near you (Barnes & Noble, I presume?):

Let me know what you think. And if you’ve bought the book, post even just a short review here — I’m interested to hear. That is all, for now.
