Weeds of the Northeast

Rating:
Summary: Excellent information for amateurs and even children.
Review: When I first saw this book at a workshop which was given by the Children's Museum of Boston this summer,I knew I had to have it. Weeeds are no longer nameless. Every type of weed I have seen so far I can identify using this book. The illustrations are real photographs and not drawings so what you see is the real thing.I keep the book in my car so when I go to my friend's house I can show off my knowledge of weeds :). The Title usually gets raised eyebrows.But when I show it to people their reaction change. Even my children ages 10 and 11 use it . The only drawback is that if you don't know the name of the weed you will have to flip through the whole book.But then I don't know how I could have organized it any better if I had written it myself. Excellent book anyway.
