Review:

It is so much more than a field guide and if you only have one book on dragonflies, then this is the one ... The authors have thoroughly revised the guide with new text and photographs, particularly evident in the earlier sections, which neatly combine high quality photographs with line drawings and full colour illustrations ... Stunning illustrations ... It is the must-have book.' --Dragonfly News

...it's excellent to see a comprehensively updated, accurate and beautifully presented new edition released. There can be no question that this is the essential field guide for any British and Irish odonatologist. --Birdwatch

...this field guide fulfils its purpose excellently and can be recommended without reservation. --BES Bulletin
