Customers find this field guide informative and comprehensive, containing everything imaginable about Florida’s flora and fauna, with excellent photos and good value for money. The book receives positive feedback for its usefulness, with one customer noting it’s particularly helpful for new and old Floridians and visitors. However, the content depth and field identification aspects receive mixed reviews – while some find it very detailed, others say it lacks depth, and while it includes many species, some significant ones are missing from the list.
