3.0 out of 5 stars
Misleading title,
By A Customer
This review is from: Trees and Shrubs of Colorado (Paperback)
In the introduction, the author states that "the most effective range for this book is approximately a 150-mile radius of Pikes Peak." and adds "As you move to the four corners of the state and to the western slope, the book becomes less effective." I wish I had known this before I purchased the book, because it lacks the information I needed to help identify plants on the western slope of Colorado. However, if you live in the defined area, I'm sure you will find it useful. The drawings are beautifully done, the descriptions are adequate, and the appendices are well-done.

1.0 out of 5 stars
worthless,
By david r mcguire (idaho springs, co United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Trees and Shrubs of Colorado (Paperback)
This worthless book follows some arcane numbering system that could only be valuable to a computer programer. The descriptions are aimless and do not seem to match anything in nature
