Book Reviews of Peterson Field Guide to Mammals of North America: Fourth Edition (Peterson Field Guides (R))
Book Review: Impractical for field use
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought Mammals field guide 4th ed. to upgrade from my 3rd. ed. The 4th ed. has 80 plates while the 3rd ed. has only 32 plates. The 4th ed. also has much more text under individual species and genera descriptions. With having more plates and text the 4th ed. is about three times the weight of the previous 3rd ed. The increase of weight makes The Field Guide to Mammals 4th ed. impractical for use in the field. Which is why I give this book 4.5 stars.
