this list is AWESOME! i have a question about the field guide to weeds book: what exactly is in it, what is it about? i was thinking about getting it for my mum (she loves her garden!), but it's hard to decide when i can't really see what it is about...

A Field Guide To Weeds is really more like a journal. the drawings grow as you turn each page. you could take notes or just leave it out as a little coffee table item. i think it makes a beautiful gift. best of luck!
