If you dont have this book yet, you have to get it. I have the coolest wife in the world, she went out shopping yesterday and bought me the book 'just because'.

It's not just an identification guide, theres alot of good reading and information in it. The pictures are great too.

(and no, I'm not getting anything from Howard for this shameless plug.....but hey )

I've had mine for years and have studied it for hours. I find it extremely satisfying when you can identify the things in the world around you. The ability to determine the good bugs from the bad make for a much better organic gardener.

yep, I really enjoyed the Howard and Malcolm stories
