Hi all

I'm pondering buying Dragonflies and Damselflies of the West: The Photographic Guide (Princeton Field Guides). I presently have dragonflies through binoculars, I find many of the photos in this pretty useless for identification. Can anyone advise if the Princeton Guide is any better?

Cheers

Steve,

I have a copy of D&D of the West which you can study in a few weeks - no need to take two!

I can't vouch for the comparison as I've never seen the other one.

I have both of those books. If I had to choose between the two I would choose the Princeton (Paulson) guide, since the plates and maps are bigger, and Dragonflies Thru Bins doesn't include damselflies.

However, the text in the older book is still valid, and it's good to look at as many pix as you can, so I'd say get both.

Didn't realise you had it John. I'll save my money. We can compare the two.
