Great UK in-field flower guide
This is a nice compact book and it is slightly smaller than the standard Collins guides so it can more easily be put in a pocket for field use. It concentrates on the British species only with only about 35% of species compared to the full Collins Wild Flower Guide Europe. If you are wondering whether to buy the full European Guide or this British-only version there are some considerations. 1. The book is less wide than the full guide making it hard to open the pages fully without breaking the spine. The full guide is easier to browse through when searching for a flower. 2. The species are in two narrow columns with the flower image at the bottom of each entry, which I found makes for uncomfortable viewing. If the full guide, when opened, the left page has the species text and the flower images are all shown on the right page - much nicer to use in my opinion. SEE PICTURES OF BOTH BOOKS 3. The full European guide is too big to take into the field. It has 702 pages compared to the British 272 pages. T 4 The British guide has the more common species only but I have not noticed any missing species as yet. Given the full European Wild Flower Guide is not so much more expensive than the compact British guide I would say if you want the definitive guide for home use then buy the full guide. You will find it swamped with technical information and species you may never see in the UK but it has it all. The Common British guide uses the same graphics and a cut-down text description from the full book and is really more useful for quick or in-field use. LEARNING WILD FLOWERS Both guides categorise species by genus so if you are a beginner you may prefer a different publisher altogether, maybe a book that categorises wild flowers by habitat or colour. My personal preference is the full European guide because it is nicer to use with text on the left page and pictures together on the right page - this makes comparison of similar species much easier and I wish Collins had applied this method to the British guide.
