Summary: Excellent and thorough, but not as natural to use as Kaufmann 2010-02-05
Comment: I returned the Peterson Guide to Mammals and bought the Kaufmann Mammals Guide. The Peterson Guide is excellent and thorough, but the arrangement is not as easy to use as the Kaufmann Guide to Mammals. For my purpose as a quick reference guide in the field, my wife and I prefer the Kaufmann guide with its excellent photos and natural indexing.Kaufman Field Guide to Mammals of North America

Summary: Comprehensive & Very Useful 2009-12-30
Comment: This Peterson Guide offers a very well-rounded selection of animals at a great price. You won't find a plate of every little-known vole species in existence, but you'll find more than you've likely ever heard of. An especially useful addition to this field guide is the extensive series of skull plates. No field guide on mammals is required to have a section dedicated to osteology, but this Peterson Guide goes above and beyond the call of duty in this respect.
Inevitably, you'll find an animal here or there that is placed under a genus or species that has since been revised by the scientific community. Knowledge concerning mammalian taxonomy is simply increasing faster than revised editions can be printed, so this doesn't really represent a 'weakness' in the Peterson Guide.

Summary: Best Field Guides Around 2009-09-16
Comment: This is my second Perterson's Field Guide and I love them. So far I have found that these are the best field guides around. They are put together nicely, its easy to find what your looking for. They have drawings, actual photos and good write ups. Highly recommend any of the Peterson's guides.

Comment: The wrong guide book was sent the first time. The second one was damaged but credit was given immediately. This dealer was not the best one I have dealt with on Amazon.
