I would give it higher marks and actually compromised on not giving it a 3 star rate. Why because of the plastic comb binding. I hate it. I've had to cut new combs down to replace the old that often gives up in heat or over time. If you carry it on the road or as a field guide a car can get hot which relaxes the comb. I am now looking to rebind with plastic coil or wire coil because I'm so tired of the frustration with the plastic comb. The price of this book is reasonable so you do get your moneys worth. The author was ahead of his time & it would have been nice if he had produced or expanded into other volumes and improved the photograph work as technology improved too. I relied on Delorit's book among others while learning this profession. And yes I still refer to it today. But please upgrade it's method of binding.....even if it means charging 1-2 more dollars per book.

The work is a scholarly one, and the keys are user friendly. The photographs for verification are excellent.

This book provides clear, photographs of numerous weed seeds found throughout the country. It is as completely useful for seed identification study today as when it was first produced in 1970.
