5.0 out of 5 stars Cheaper in Canada!, April 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Handbook of the Canadian Rockies (Paperback)

An excellent, broadranging book that includes anything and everything about the Canadian Rockies. One suggestion, however, buy the book in Canada. It's available in any regular bookstore up there for $35 Can, which is about $24 US.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't go to the Canadian Rockies without it!, October 8, 1998

This review is from: Handbook of the Canadian Rockies (Paperback)

Gadd's book is an excellent resource for anyone who wants more knowledge and information on the splendor of the Candaian Rockies. Detailed, yet easy reading information is presented on flora, fauna, geology, climate, and hiking.

In our recent trip to the Canadian Rockies my wife and I referred to it often whether in the car or on a Mt. trail. Whatever bird, flower, or geological formation you wanted to know about, Gadd's book provided all the information.

5.0 out of 5 stars The definitive all-in-one guidebook, August 27, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Handbook of the Canadian Rockies (Paperback)

The fourth printing of the second edition has been updated for 2009. This book is the definitive all-in-one guidebook to the Canadian Rockies. It can replace a flower guide, a plant guide, an animal guide, an insect guide, a bird guide, a fish guide, a geology guide, a history book, a trail guide and even a road map! It is divided into sections for each of these topics and is well illustrated with colour photos and drawings. It is the most comprehensive and useful guide to the Rockies that I have encountered and I have lived here for over 30 years. If you are only buying one guidebook to the Rockies make it this one.
