Title: a coloring book
Product review: This series of books is highly overrated. These may be the premiere wildlife guides but they are intensely irritating. This wildflower guide has some colored plates but a large quantity of line drawings leaving one puzzled as to what the plant might actually look like, even approximately.An outline drawing may be useful to discriminate between very similar plants, but as a field guide one needs a quick way of seeing a plant and finding a reasonable visual match. After a coarse selection a fine selection would then be appropriate.Why books of this nature are not in full color is a mystery. Are we expected to color-in the illustrations ourselves? The publisher is lazy -- excellent color printing is available nowadays.
