Negative Positive
Title: Seriously showing its age
Review: This book was written in 1968 and then updated in 1996. While it contains a wealth of information the illustrations of the wild flowers are black and white sketches with a few color sketches included in all but the white plant sections. For actual field identification, it would be far better to have actual plant pictures. Even the Peterson First Guides to Wildflowers contains all color illustrations. My other field guides with photographs are more useful. Maybe the Peterson Field Guide Service might consider redoing this book as an iPhone/iPad app in the future. Until, I do not recommend this field guide.
