I belong to the Tourist Club on Mt. Tam and wanted a portable guide for when I’m hiking and don’t have access to CNPS’ Calscape. Beautiful book, lots of info, and very compact.

This is an informative, handy guide. Good layout and size for holding in your hand on a hike in Marin (and throughout coastal NorCal) and finding the right pic to identify native plants. I’m an amateur botany lover (tho aided by my expert horticulturalist husband) and it is user friendly for me. Good book!
