    I can’t thank this seller enough for his generous offer for this item and the opportunity to purchase such a unique monograph. As soon as I accepted his offer and paid, he began the packaging and shipping process. The book arrived in great condition; exactly as he described it and just like his photographs showed. The cost of the book was more than reasonable and the packaging ensured that it arrived safely. I’m extremely pleased with this purchase and I’ll be happy to buy from him again soon.

    Thank you for the offer and the book. Price was very good. I got a great deal - it is in better condition than your pictures indicated. I read this book when I was in the eighth grade and have not read it since then. Very happy to have the book. Packaging and shipping were outstanding - book was placed in a book box for shipping. Book matched picture. Highly recommend the seller.

    Excellent

    I'm still going through this long and detailed book. It's a reference book, and I have quite a few others on the subject. It's wild mushroom season here in the Rockies, and another reference book is only a positive. This one covers more mushrooms than inhabit the Rocky Mountains, but is a valuable resource regardless. One thing that some might object to in 2022 and beyond is that the color plates are in a clump instead of attached to each species, but it's an older book and we're somewhat spoiled. Black and white photos are abundant with reference to color plates in the author's view of the most important mushrooms. It's certainly as valuable as the Audubon mushroom book, and that it's in a different format (and that it has MANY black and white photos) is helpful to anyone looking to ...

    Mushrooms Demystified book

    This book is one of the most excellent books I have ever seen on the subject of mushrooms, and fungi in general. The pictures are most excellent, and the author writes very well (he really knows his mushrooms!) There is a lot of detail included in the description of each mushroom, as well as some personal anecdotes. I have enjoyed reading through this book very much, and it will be invaluable to me in the years to come.

    Best mushroom guide book you can buy

    David Aurora is by far the best author of all mushroom books. His knowledge is vast and his compelling way of explaining things is factual and humourous at the same time.

    MD is a must have reference

    MD is a great reference for both beginners and seasoned shroom hunters. It is written in an entertaining style and has an adequate number of reference photos for field comparison. Good value!
