I'm not *done* done but I finished reading the introduction and read about some random families as they came up and keyed out at least one thing, so I am counting it. I am obsessed with this book!!! ( )

I personally didnt find anything special about this book. I feel like a good textbook wouldve been a better choice. The format wasnt great and it wasnt easy to get in to. ( )

A great reference book, that teaches you plant identification through plant families and orders yet still contains some of the author's personal reflections, experience, and gathered information. Botany does not seem to be an exact science, and some of the plant families have been officially changed, apparently, since publication. Nonetheless, this book offers an awesome amount of self-education and learning possibilities for any botany fan. ( )
