A well made identification fern guide. It is small and flexible enough to easily place it in a large pants pocket or back pack when hiking through woods and trails. The back cover even includes a convenient ruler with inches, centimeters, and millimeters to assist in identification. My only complaint is that most pages will have 2-4 ferns on one page and those illustrations can overlap. The illustrator attempts to combat confusion with green arrows connecting the names to each but then doesn't use an arrow to connect it to the geolocation map. So you sometimes may have to use your finger to gauge which illustration the map is closest to-that is the fern it belongs to. I'd still recommend this one

The layout makes identifying from the frond you're looking at remarkably straightforward. It's like a choose-your-own adventure field guide. Also nice that it's small enough to take on a hike without feeling weighed down.

Bought for an art class, remarkably easy to identify ferns. Nice size to carry with you.
