Nice Guide to COMMON Plants for the Money

Great unabridged reprinting of two earlier printings in the late 1960's and 1970's. Looks like it was typeset with a typewriter. Very thorough guide for the money with detailed line drawings for identification. As the title says COMMON plants, I feel that another reviewer's criticism for its lack of coverage of rare species in unwarranted.

Has a permanent place on my bookshelf

I've used this book for more than 20 years, starting as college student, and still use it regularly, for myself and as a good overall reference for others with a growing interest in marshes and wetlands. I agree it offers little on rarities, but I've never felt that this was its aim. There are other more specialized texts to help you with these. But for a good guide to take along on a field trip to learn about marshes and their plants, it's ideal.
