5.0 out of 5 stars A good book for people interested in plants and science..., November 2, 1999

This review is from: Collecting and Preserving Plants (Paperback)

This book tells how to collect, prepare, and mount plants of all types, including seaweed and mushrooms. It tells exactly what to do in a clear manner. It also tells when you shouldn't collect plants. I highly recommend this book. A good book to go with it is "Building Your Own Nature Museum" by Vinson Brown...
