Missouri Trees & Wildflowers: An Introduction to Familiar Species (Pocket Naturalist - Waterford Press) Customer Review: Expected a book, received a folded pamphlet
This was a disappointment. I expected a small "paper bound" booklet that contained illustrations and descriptions. I received a 8.25 x 22.00 sheet that was folded multiple times to create a 4.00 x 8.25 pamphlet. The material is good quality and should stand up to some exposure to moisture since it has a plastic coating. The illustrations are color and fairly good for drawings, but they are small and require imagination to figure out the scale. Size of the plant is stated, but I didn't see any description of flower size. For me, the descriptions are inadequate and left a lot to be desired.
I will probably buy something else and maybe use this in the field as a reminder of plant names. I don't believe that it is going to be much help identifying plants for the first time.
It shows approximately 40 trees and and 93 plants if I counted correctly.
