This is a great addition to my collection.  I really like the larger size. Easy to read and looking up info or thumbing through the pages doesn't take a degree in science.

What a terrific reference.  The book is well organized, the pictures are beautiful, and it will be a book that I will depend on constantly in the years to come while building my collection of garden roses.

OK, I stole the review title from the dust jacket, but I like it! This is a carefully written, comprehensive flora that I find myself referencing often even though I am in western Pennsylvania. My favorite feature is in the keys to some of the more difficult groups. For large Carex sections, for example, they have drawings of all the perigynia lined up, so you can compare them directly. Below is another line of drawings of the inflorescences; again, all lined up on one page. A superb addition to my natural history library.

Excellent text as well as photos. It has been a collector's reference for me for years now.

Highly recommended.

This book is an excellent reference -- clear, concise, and well organized.  Even having already spent hundreds of hours in search of NYC ancestors, I find Joseph Buggy's work to add great value and an important perspective.

An important book, actually: very useful for a collector.

This new addition has a number of very nice (and new) features. There are of course the birds that have been added, but I especially like the section on subspecies near the end of the book. I also think it is a good thing that the accidental and extinct species have now been separated out from the normally occurring species and placed in their own separate section.

I like to have this in my collection at work. You can also use Google and find a lot of helpful information.

This is an excellent reference and I have been learning a great deal from it.  The only problem is the age since it was published in 2004.  I am hoping I will find the sound samples of the lessons for examples still online.  I do best with visual and auditory instruction, though the written explanation gives the complete picture.  Best part of this book-- the guitar and gear suggestions of the great blues guitarists... really a fun and accurate reference!

A wonderful addition to my collection of books on dehydrating food. It's the best one I've owned by far. It's a well organized easy to read reference book, great recipe ideas too. I would definitely recommend it to friends and family :)

The 5th edition of this book is great. It's a great reference for both the hobbyist and Studio potter as well as the newbie.
It's set up like a dictionary which makes finding information quick and easy. Although I've heard some remarks made about the lack of depth of knowledge with regards to some specific areas, I think that the knowledge imparted as good when one realizes that more than one specific area is being covered. There is adequate information provided for all areas covered. The book is well thought out and the easily understood and very well researched - and the information can be applied to both sides of the pond. It's a nice addition to my studio library and I would recommend it to anyone with an interest in pottery. I've enjoyed my copy and have no doubt that as more additions become available I'll keep updating.

I'm new (again) to the hobby after ~5 years and I picked this book up over the weekend.  I cannot evaluate or review the pricing information contained in this book but it seems to be on par with what I am seeing in the market.  As I mentioned in the title, I'm really liking all of the color pictures and detailed information about the different series of notes - color pictures probably outnumber the black and white pictures 20 to 1.  I'm very glad I purchased this one!
