"Though the title might imply otherwise, many of the weeds actually occur in other parts of the U.S. This is an excellent field guide." Washington Daily News
"Very easy to use, this guide contains over 750 color photos and line drawings along with all the information you will need to ID weeds. Though it is written specifically for the North, many of these 175 species are found elsewhere as well. In the introduction, there is a quick, handy guide with thumbnail photos of plants in all stages of growth from mature ones to seedlings so you can quickly identify the species you have. The best means of control is determined by the life cycle of the weed, and this title will help you choose the right method. For each species, the author provides a complete description of all the plant parts along with quick ID tips, its distribution, similar species, its status as a weed in different states, and why the plant is of concern. Common names are given in English and French. The appendix contains a helpful illustrated glossary." Connie Krochmal, BellaOnline, Nov 2, 2005
