Great unabridged reprinting of two earlier printings in the late 1960's and 1970's. Looks like it was typeset with a typewriter. Very thorough guide for the money with detailed line drawings for identification. As the title says COMMON plants, I feel that another reviewer's criticism for its lack of coverage of rare species in unwarranted.

I've used this book for more than 20 years, starting as college student, and still use it regularly, for myself and as a good overall reference for others with a growing interest in marshes and wetlands. I agree it offers little on rarities, but I've never felt that this was its aim. There are other more specialized texts to help you with these. But for a good guide to take along on a field trip to learn about marshes and their plants, it's ideal.
