This series of laminated field guides has proven to be consistently good. I chair our local land trust's programs committee. That means I am the one who plans outdoor events - and often leads them. These guides are a laminated sheet that folds. They are light weight, sturdy, and can take the beating of rain, backpack, back pockets - and being handed around to a group of kids to use on a hike. They are not comprehensive by any means. But, when buying guides specific to your state, you will certainly find that the most common species will be represented - and arranged in helpful categories. And what are you most likely to see on a hike? The most common species! That is what is so helpful about these guides. They are not intended for the expert - or even the true enthusiast. They are great for family outings - and the casually curious. They make a great beginner's guide - and a packet of them would make a nice gift. They are very affordable.

Maine Trees Wildflowers A Folding Pocket Guide to Familiar Plants Pocket Naturalist Guides James Kavanagh Waterford Press Raymond Leung 9781583554111 Books Reviews

This is a pretty handy little pocket guide with little illustrations and descriptions of trees and wildflowers of Maine. But it is not a paperback. It is instead a laminated and folded two-sided card with six panels on each side. One side has six panels of flowers and trees, and the other side has four more panels of flowers and trees, a fifth panel panel showing a map of botanical sanctuaries of Maine, and the sixth panel is green and white title graphic shown in the depiction of the item. There's about a dozen tree and flower depictions on each panel. Each tree or flower on a panel is depicted solely by a small color illustration of nettles/leaves/cones or leaves/flowers, and the entire tree or plant is not depicted. There's a ten to twenty five word description of each species illustrated, including the common name, latin name, and genral size range. But it is a very short description. For example, with an illustration of two leaves on the same stem, and an acorn, you have this

"White Oak -- Quercus alba To 100 ft (30m) Leaves have 5-9 rounded lobes Acorn has a shallow, scaly cup"

That's it. Not a bad quickie guide if you're on a hike in Maine, actually. But be aware, it isn't a paperback with a page of description per plant species, or anything like that.
I never can remember names of plants, bushes, trees so this helps me to tell friends what they can look for when they return to same area.
pocket guide--will be useful on fall trip to Acadia NP have used these before--for a longer trip would need a bird book and maybe botany and animal book
definitely would buy again
