Customer Reviews
Great Little Book
I bought this book when we moved to a new house with a large established garden which seemed to attract lots of butterflies. It has been a great help finding out which ones are which and good fun too getting my daughter involved as well. Great pictures and photographs and an easy to follow method of identifying butterflies and moths. Well worth the small amount of money paid.
Excellent
The Gem guides are without the best out there for people who want a quick reference book they can carry round.
Introduction to Butterflies
A very good reference guide, which is small and easy to carry whilst walking. the photo's are clear and the descriptions accurate. I have no problem in giving positive feedback, the coverage is European wide, so it would be useful to take on holidays for instance,
