Book Reviews of Dragonflies and Damselflies of California
Book Review: Not Just For California!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a really neat and very reasonably priced book on dragonflies and damselflies. I liked it from the first time I saw it. The color illustrations are great and with the short descriptions are very helpful for identifying the families, genera and species. The size of the book is also just right for transport into the field.I checked the book against our list for New Mexico and found that close to 1/2 of our dragonflies and damselflies are described! The handbook should thus be useful in Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Oregon and northwestern Mexico, as well as the target- California.
For the price and quality the dragonfly and damselfly enthusiast in the Southwest could not find a better field reference!
