 Awesome book
Very informative book. I like that it has pictures also, not just pencil sketches like some other books.

MUST HAVE in yoru library
This is another book I am constantly referencing. It is small enough to pack in your backpack or coat pocket if you want to identify plants in the wild.
Steven Foster also provides clear photographs to make it far easier to determine the plants.
The descriptions are good and have helped me several times identify plants in my region.
