very happy with it,I will be placing more
orders with Amazon in the future!

I encounter a lot of cacti regularly, and I like to identify what I see. In checking out all the cactus books available this one seemed to be the best. I like the range maps, and if the cacti are in bloom, this book makes identification pretty easy. The only problem I have is that I am looking at cacti and wanting to identify them all year, not just when they are blooming. And therein lies my problem with the book. I wish the photos showed more of the vegetative aspects of the plant, or showed them more clearly. Apart from that, all the information provided has enabled me to achieve pretty certain identity on the ones I've encountered. Maybe if you are more up on your technical botanical identification skills the book would probably work better for you than it does for me. I do still like the book and am glad I bought it, because it is specific to the state I live in, and it is thorough, which is very helpful. It just takes me more time and energy to make my identifications than I would like to spend.

This is a very good book describing all the different cacti in Texas. It does so in a detailed manner with many very good pictures. Why I give this book 4 instead of 5 stars is that this book is too big to carry, along with every thing else, on a hiking trip to the wilderness. There are other guides that do not go into the detail this book does but are smaller and would be eaiser to use on a camping trip.
