From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "Wonderful compendium of plants in the PNW. This is a book you keep referring to, not just read and shelve! I look at it on a regular basis as I try to reorganize my plantings and make my garden more native to help the birds and wildlife."; "Personally I think the book is excellent. I find that I need to take it with me on my hikes because there is just too much tree and nature information to remember. Also, the pictures in the book are very helpful! The book will fit in almost anyone's backpack although I often carry it so I don't have to take my backpack off to get it out . You'll learn a lot! I think it helps a person slow down and actually LOOK at things instead of just marching along. It makes hiking more enjoyable!"; "if you want to know about plants of the Pacific Northwest...boy, this is the book for you!"
