Product reviewsThe Observer's Book of Insects by E.F. Linssen, John Clegg (Hardcover, 1992)

Great little reference book

A fabulous little reference book. Unfortunately the illustrations are limited and are paintingss rather than the photographs that we have come to expect in a book of this nature, but this is more than compensated for by the wealth of information contained in the text, and in my view is a must for anybody interested in insect life. At the price it represents great value dor moneyRead full review...

A very informative book.

I already had the observers books of butterflies and moths and have always been impressed by the depth of information and quality of the illustrations, so when I spotted the insects book I bought it.<br>While the information is very thorough in this book, the illustrations are not nearly as numerous as in the others. While one can learn a lot about insects from this book, it is not as usefull for identifying a bug you found in your garden as the butterflies / moths books.Read full review...
