 Rating:  - field guideI purchased this for a friend and they were delighted to receive it and as far as i know they are enjoying the book. Rating: - Awesome bookVery informative. Going to have to go out this summer and put it to the test. Rating:  - Would be good if not for the printing errorThis is an awesome book, but there was obviously a printing error in the copy I bought. An entire chunk of pages has been repeated and a whole 'nother chunk is missing. My only other complaint is that it'd be nice if these field guides had color photos all the way through. I know that makes the book more expensive but it also makes it more *useful*. Black-and-white drawings only convey so much. Rating:  - Up to the usual Peterson Field Guides standardsAlthough this book is well written and organized, I have one minor complaint... If you are going to depend on a book to decide whether or not you can eat something without poisoning yourself, the pictures next to the plant descriptions ought to be in color rather than black and white sketches. Rating: - excellent seller and productItem as described and received in a timely manner... an excellent buying experience! |
