Review
This book is not intended to be a field guide that you can tuck in your back pocket. But it is easy to use if not to carry, and its girth allows it to be wonderfully comprehensive.

Over the last 15 years, butterflies have also developed a new fan base among adult bird watchers [who] . . . soon demanded butterfly field guides in color with range maps and standardized names, like the classic birding guides. . . . The most beautiful and in-depth new book is
Butterflies of the East Coast: An Observers Guide by Rich Cech and Guy Tudor.

This volume is one of the best books on American natural history to appear in recent years. . . . [H]ere we have a single volume that will go a long way toward educating older students and adults. It needs to be read.

A recently published book by Rick Cech and Guy Tudor called
Butterflies of the East Coast is a magnificent addition to the butterfly literature. This book will increase the skill and enthusiasm of all butterfly observers. What a labor of love this book is! All of the butterflies along the Eastern seaboard, from Maine to Florida, are covered. . . . The identification sections are particularly notable to me. I think the descriptions are more useful than the descriptions in any of the other field guides on North American butterflies. Cech and Tudor's descriptions are wonderfully clear, with an economy of words.

We're most fortunate this year. A number of fine natural history books have been issued just in time for summer reading. . . . Easily the most spectacular new book is
Butterflies of the East Coast: An Observer's Guide by Rick Cech and Guy Tudor. This will surely become the standard text on butterflies.

Review
This is the most authoritative, informative, and exciting book about the identification, ecology and behavior of butterflies available. It provides a novel and eye-opening view of butterflies, expanding the horizons of how we view them. Armed with this book, we can all attract butterflies to our gardens, parks, and natural habitats, and follow all stages of their development from the caterpillar to the adult.
