'Celebrate all things botanical and learn about the art of pressing flowers with this beautiful new book by the florists of South London’s beloved JamJar. The Modern Flower Press is a bible of fascinating floral facts, tips, myths and, above all, glorious illustrations and photography.' Tatler
‘Feels like a spellbook incantating more magic than the title alone suggests … Lavish specimens scatter the pages and are reproduced in such papery, translucent detail that one might be forgiven for thinking some cheeky bookseller had slipped in a real stem or two … Encourage[s] readers to find the nearest flower and pick it, immediately, for posterity.’ Amy Merrick, World of Interiors
