NEW Baja Plant and Field Guide c2012

I was at Discover Baja Travel Club today to show Carol our new book on the missions (a pre-publication edition), and the new Plant Field Guide caught my eye on their bookshelf... so, I had to have it!

It is about 150 pages bigger than the previous edition (1989) I have, and it looks great!

Got mine there over a month ago so have had time to review the book.

Excellent, larger, more and better content, an indispensable reference.

I can't imagine there are many "new" plants from my original to the new one, only new text and photos

Thanks for posting, David. This book was purchased by the other half, and I haven't had a chance to read it since '07. Now, this is my chance to buy my own.

Not 'new' plants Cortez, just MORE plants than the previous edition... About 715 are included in this edition.

We also sell this book!

Yes indeed... thanks Judy, and I was going to buy a copy from you, if I found your store in San Jose del Cabo...! We will have it for our next trip south. It and the Reptile guide book usually always go south on our trips... It is fun to know something about what you are looking at, on a trip.

We looked for your shop as we drove around town on the many one way streets. Did not know where you were, just hoping we would see you. I met you at one of Keri's Pyramid Resort Book Signing, as I recall... but that was ages ago! After we photographed the front of the church (on the mission site), we left for Santiago and La Paz.

Lots more photos of the plants than the previous edition I assume?

There is no book like it... I am sure you will be happy with the purchase!

We attended the lecture given By Jon Rebman, the author, At the San Diego Natural History Museum last month. It was great.
