Customer Reviews

After a quick read....
Well I expected a pocket guide to be something that I could take out into the field and use, however there is a decided lack of pictures and illustrations in this book, however those that are there are good quality.
There is also no index, so finding the info you want is a challenge at times. Having said that its a good, simple little book for the money.
