 Nothing comparable September 28, 2008
My mother bought this book when I was a child in the mid 80s, and my siblings and I used it continually throughout our childhood and into our adult years to look up everything from birds to insects to "that strange thing the cat just ate". Recently I went to Barnes & Noble to look for a book similar to this, but there is nothing that compares to this book. Every book I found was for a particular class (birds, reptiles, etc.) or was even more specific (birds of North Georgia, etc.). I found no book that covers such a wide variety of species. Perhaps there are more in-depth books, but nothing beats this quick, easy reference. I'm pleased to know that they still have it in publication and that it is in the same format I grew up with. Because my mother's copy was so well loved and used, it's falling apart, so I'm buying a copy for my mother as well as one for myself. I know my children will enjoy it just as much as I did.
Christmas Gift September 25, 2008
Have the original of this book and love it. Am very happy to see an update on it. This is a Christmas gift for our grandson-in-law.
Great Book!! September 8, 2008
I am just ordering my second copy. I got my first about 25 years ago and it is falling apart. My neighbor likes it so much that we are both getting new copies. I live in a national forest and on a lake so we use every category. Best book I've ever had.
 good for basic information August 14, 2008
Overall i feel that this book is worth having around. Its good for plant and animal identification, but gives limited information on everything in the book. If your interested in learning more about a specific species you will need a book on that subject. I have used mine alot and have found it very useful.
Really Great Book!! August 24, 2007
I have had the older (1982) printing of this book. That book has been worn out. We use it all the time. My kids used it all the time. I took it to work to look up a plant we had been talking about. Soon everyone was coming to look up something. Anyway I decided to get the newer version, and some others at work wanted me to order them copies also. All really love this book. The pictures are good and precise, and the info all easy to understand.
