“A Golden Field Guide is a treasured tool, a fascinating and invaluable aid for the nature lover in action. Because 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 go flipping through the book to match up text and art. Each bird, tree, rock 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!” ♡ Very Good VTG condition: The book has all its pages, and I just found the previous owner name. The cover/spine and pages show signs of wear per use and age. ♡ © 1979
