Worth the money! - By: Pat C, 04 Jul 2008
For a long time I admired this book but was reluctant to spend £50 on it. I eventuallly decided I had to have it, was pleased to see it on Amazon for a bit less, & I am delighted with it. Once you have keyed something out eg. in Stace it provides beautifully clear & detailed drawings to check your ID. Or you can use the keys provided (I haven't done that much). Or you can look at the descriptions facing the plates, in which the key features are highlighted (similar format to the Wild Flower Key).
Leaves full of colour - By: , 11 Sep 2003
Probably the most user friendly book of its field(!?) Fantastic colour illustrations & detailed accounts of each species only let down by a somewhat difficult key. It may not be smalll enough to take out in the field but it includes vital information to make accurate identification - worth every penny.
