A beautiful book

There is no doubt this is the most beautiful wildlfower book I have ever seen. Each of the 120 photos are full page, full color, and absolutely stunning in their clarity, composition and ability to help you identify a flower. The text is also very informative--and nicely written. Instead of technical jargon, the author gives you all kinds of information in easy to understand and often entertaining language. I'll cherish this book for a long time and use it often as he also tells you specific sites to find each flower. Again, A BEAUTIFUL BOOK.
