5.0 out of 5 stars The best there is ..., March 25, 2011

This review is from: How to Know the Lichens (Pictured Key Nature Series) (Spiral-bound)

Though the nomenclature is dated this is still the best book available for identifying the more obvious lichens that one is likely to come across in the United States. It is easy to use and amply illustrated.
