“A Golden Field Guide is a treasured tool, a fascinating and invaluable aid for the nature lover in action. Golden Field Guides work. What you see in a Guide is exactly what you see in nature. You don’t have to translate black-and-white sketches into the colors of the real thing or flip through the book to match text with art. Each bird, tree, snake, and shell is captured in full color with descriptive text right there on the facing page. So you can identify a specimen or a species quickly, easily, positively. That’s why enthusiastic amateurs as well as exacting professionals swear by Golden - finest in the field!” ♡ Good VTG condition: The book has all its pages, but please note that they’re starting to get loose as seen on pictures. I didn’t find any writing on them. The cover/spine and pages show signs of wear per use and age. ♡ © 1973
