Title: Lots of Information, But Difficult to Determine What Plant is Being Described
Review: There is a wealth of information packed into this book, but it is very difficult to really get into it and understand: as the old saying goes, a picture says a thousand words and while there are certainly a lot of black and white pictures, there are only 15 pages (or less than 5% of the total page count) of color pictures. It would be very easy for misidentification to occur due to hand-sketched nature of a black and white drawing of various plants - while I understand color pages cost more, I'd have certainly paid it so I could make a better determination of what I was observing in the wild. The text in this manual is excellent, but I have a hard time being able to point a particular section of this book to a visual of whatever the plant is in the guide. Knowing my luck, if I relied solely on this guide I would be preparing something poisonous.
