I really like there were only colored pictures not drawling. The best thing if your in the field and find a frog or something you haven't found before.

This book is well worth its price. It has some fantastic pictures that have done me good in the field however I use the Peterson's Guide more often now but it is still a great book to have. Great detail in almost everything except for the range maps.

This is my second favorite field guide. Second only to Peterson's, that is. The pictures are excellent and the write-ups are very detailed, especially the descriptions of subspecies' differences. The only downfall that I find with this field guide is that the range maps are not very detailed and they do not break out subspecies' distributions. This can be very important depending on where you are. Other than that, this is an excellent book and I highly recommend it to anyone in the field. Karl
