Customer Reviews

Beautiful Wildlife Guide to the Alps!

The book itself is crisp, clean, and beautiful! I have many wildlife guides, and this one includes everything: trees, flowers, birds, animals etc. It is clear, easy to read and includes photographs for each species. I love real-photo guides in some instances, however, find they only will show a single variation of a species which is not always ideal. However, after finishing a trip through this entire region I wanted a guide to go back and look through, to mark species I had seen. I will be taking this back with me next time I go and doing some more thorough IDing! Highly recommend this guide if you are traveling through the Alps and surrounding countries.
