The Alaska-Yukon wild flowers guide

Rating:
Summary: Okay cross section but far from comprehensive.
Review: I've used this book for a few years and have found that I have replaced it with Pojar & MacKinnon's Plants of the Pacific Northwest. The Alaska Yukon Wild Flowers Guide that I have was printed in 1995 but copyrighted in '74. The phots throughout seem as though they were taken in the 70's. The pictures are largely similar to those I take now - washed out with poor colors. The book does have a nice cross section of flowers from beaches to alpine. I'll keep my copy for my library but when it comes to field identification I'll go with the previously mentioned title. (Which is limited to SE Alaska - sorry.)

Review: The book provides an excellent overview of flowers in Alaska & the Yukon, and is useful for identification using the color pictures for each flower. I regret that it is out of print.
