4.0 out of 5 stars
Not bad but some colored plates would have been nice.,
By Lincoln County MT "Focused on pinecones" (Extreme NW Montana) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Wild Plants of the San Juan Islands (Paperback)
I had better hopes for this book. More colored plates for one. It
has mostly drawings....your basic very rudimentary line drawings. It does provide some information and I'll probably take the list of plant names and pull together my own version of this book via plant ID photos from our own collection. We pull our own custom ID books then along with us. Also will take 1-2 better plant ID books for the North West Pacific areas along too. Three of us plan to bike the San Juans next summer on a 9-12 day leisure trip. So list will be handy but will leave book at home. Would not recommend would not buy again.
