Format:Paperback
DO NOT order this book from the internet--is is a rip-off!! Call the University of Wyoming at Laramie, they will sell you Weeds of the West for 26.50 with 5.00 shipping (9th edition, 2006). Their phone # is (307)766-5124--very nice folks, and they are also the publishers.

This is a wonderful book. The only problem is it is badly overpriced by "DIANE" who states she is the publisher.
The real publisher is the University of Wyoming and this 9th edition priced at $45.00. The real publisher didn't realize they had to get a new ISBN number for the new edition. So the 9th edition bears the old ISBN number 0-941570-134.
Perhaps Amazon could assign a number with the publisher's correct price of $45, not $60.00

This book isn't for everyone, but it really fills a gaping hole in the reference library of any gardener interested in the use of native plants, xeriscape gardening, wildflower cultivation, etc. For anyone who has ever let a yard go to seed "just to see what happens" (or dreamed of doing so) this book helps you determine what weeds are really weeds and what weeds are hidden treasures. The book is amply illustrated with photos of both mature plants and seedlings, which helps you determine what to get rid of after monsoon rains have done their part. The descriptions are clear and the index functions fine. Plus I just love the idea of having an entire book on weeds!

Best western WEED book yet!
Fantastic large color pictures for recognition. So glad I bought this book. You don't need any other guide for weeds if you have this one and you live in the west.

Review of the 5th edition of Weeds of the West
This is a beautifully done book as it contains a number (usually 3) of largish color photos for each plant, showing important characteristic features. Read more

Wouldn't be without it
I wore out my book from overuse. Thanks to previous posters I was able to purchase a new one today by directly calling 307 766-5124. It's costing me $31.
