This guide is everything I expected and more. One of my favorite features was reading about the specific plants from all the different areas I've visited. I can't wait to go back and start looking for all of them this summer.
The photography is wonderful. I'd really love it if each flower/plant picture had a caption stating exactly what it is, rather than just where it's from. Some are easy to recognize, and then others aren't.
Overall, this is one we'll use heavily and keep on the shelf. There are many places in the book I haven't visited yet.

Really great guide to some natural areas in Northern Indiana! If I still lived there, I would absolute buy and use this till it fell apart. It provided some useful info for my research purposes too, so that was nice.
