Great Field Guide – Useful and Beautiful I’m so excited to use this field book while traveling in Scotland!! The depictions of individual species are very skillfully drawn and the descriptions are very easy to follow. I would recommend this field guide to anyone traveling to Scotland!
As good as the first edition, and that’s high praise As good as the first edition, which is very good indeed. I was pleased to see that they didn’t fix what wasn’t broken; the information got a needed update, and the book remains very useful.
Three Stars Maps with town/city names would be so helpful!
