3.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully illustrated, loads of info, room for improvement, 13 Jul 2001

By A Customer

This book is beautifully illustrated and packed with interesting information about the plants. However, it is not easily used as a guide to identification unless you have an idea of what the plant might be to start with. The incorporation of a step- by-step identification key (along the lines of that used in Peter D Moore's "Wild Flowers" (Mitchell Beazley, 1980) would add significantly to its usefulness in this regard.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent guide for all levels, easy to use., 27 April 2000

By	dforbes@tiscalinet.it (Milan, Italy) - See all my reviews

I have had this book for years and used it for A level and degree level study, it continues to be a essential companion on walks and holidays. The pictorial keys are easy to use and the pictures are a delight in themselves as well as making identification easy. The text is helpful and botanical terms are explained in an appendix. It is of compact size making it comfortable to carry on outings. Elizabeth Forbes

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Guide, 2 Jun 2004

By	Djslater "daveaze" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Since its publication in paperback in 1974 I have used this as my standard reference book when my family and I have been out on walks here in the Lake District. I find it invaluable and once you start to use the keys and methods to name that unknown flower, which you have just probably stood on!, then it becomes obvious that this book is essential to furthering your study and enjoyment.The comprehensive aspect is an essential feature and this work done by Richard and Alastair Fitter in the 70s still remains a classic book; the illustrations by Marjorie Blamey are a delight to see and use. I got a second hand copy here on Amazon the other day for a few pounds and now I have one for home and one for out in the woods,fells and fields. Try it and see.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent with a little room for improvement
This is an excellent guide and well worth the price for the illustrations alone ! As an experienced habitat surveyor it's always in my rucksack when I'm out in the field. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive, but at times leaves one uncertain of identity
Comprehensive, but doesn't always lead one to a positive identification, and quite a number of species are dealt with as just footnotes to other species, and not illustrated.
