This broad series, which includes "Western Forests" and "Deserts" are too broad. They include only the most common plants, animals and insects. Since I already know the difference between a redwood tree and douglass fir, or a red fox and groundhog, I was looking for less common things. MANY times I have come home to look up a flower, bird, or insect, only to discover that it is not in the book. What is in the book is covered well, but there's not just enough in the book. Perhaps they should further break the guides into "Invertebrates of the Pacific Coast", "Plants of the Pacific Coast", etc.
