Looks interesting, even though I am not much of a Lithops fan specifically. Mesembs can be so much more than Lithops.

I wish succulent book writers would focus a bit more on the "other" mesembs that are not Lithops. I am still waiting for the long due second book after the first one back in 2013 of the Mesembs series by Little Sphaeroid...

I wondered that, too: it's really not obvious, is it? The only clue I could see was that the flyer/order form on both https://www.wild-lithops.com/english/news/ and https://www.wild-lithops.com/deutsch/neues/ is in English.

The title does not seem German, otherwise I would expect 'Wilde Lithops' or 'Lithops im Natur" or something. The front cover also says "photographs by [...]", so would be strange if the contents would be German only.

I have a reply from the author for you:

Dear Tony,
Yes, the book is written in English and the editor is a native English speaking lady.
Best regards

Same reply as I received to my enquiry. Post Brexit fall in the value of the pound makes this an expensive book but is on the list.
