5.0 out of 5 stars Photos extraodinaire!! Easy to identify., November 10, 2001

This review is from: Weeds of the West (Paperback)
A must-have book for gardeners, hikers, rural residences. 100% color photos make it great to ID weeds about the house. Categorized by family so pretty easy to find. Books that have art renderings of plants just don't ID a plant for me, and I'm an artist!
Any negative about the book would be that it could use more descriptive type about the plant.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my very favorite books, May 19, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Weeds of the West (Paperback)
I acquired this book when it was first published and have been recommending it to everyone. Great pictures. After planting packages of wildflower seeds I did not know which of the little plants were the flowers or weeds. This book straightened me out. The baby weeds were so cute, I was going to remove the wrong plants. My copy is almost worn out, the cover is falling off. I wish they would use better glue. (And I do treat my books well)

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent field manual for both novice and expert., September 4, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Weeds of the West (Paperback)
This book, which arranges plants alphabetically by plant family, is one of the best books I have found for field identification. Two pages are devoted to each plant. Excellent photographs of the overall plant, combined with detail photos of specific identifying features, makes this a very visually rich sourcebook. The detailed descriptions of each plant, including specifics on plant taxonomy, location, and specific anecdotal information make this an invaluable addition to any plant library and a great source for both botanists and range managers alike!
