Briza Publications, Pretoria

At present, its published list comprises more than 100 titles, and includes definitive identification guides on medicinal plants, food plants, poisonous plants, indigenous trees, indigenous garden plants, problem plants, wildflowers and plants groups such as the aloes, acacias and mesembs. Briza also publishes books on gardening, ecology, tourism and natural history, including books on mammals, reptiles and birds.
In recent years Briza has also taken the international market by storm, with two of its flagship titles, Medicinal Plants of the World and Food Plants of the World being co-published in Germany, the United States and China and exclusive distribution rights taken up by major publishers in England and Australia. Further titles in this exciting series are in the pipeline for 2006 and 2007. As a result of these international partnerships, Briza has also been in a favourable position to secure South African publishing and distribution rights for leading international botanical and reference books.
