I simply could not afford the 3 digit price tag on the new edition, so I opted for this one. Even if the family classifications have changed it is still useful. You can find out the most current info online anymore.I have some idea of how to use the keys but I am not really facile with them. I refer to this after I know what a plant is and have read other sources. This book helps me refine my ID.The most helpful feature for me is the horticultural notes. A lot of times I want to know if I can grow a particular plant in my garden. They follow the Sunset Western garden zones which I am very familiar with.For its size, the book is not heavy. It has a linen cover and a sewn binding. Paper is thin.While I am not expert enough to get the full benefit of this book, it's mighty nice for a native plant geek to have.It doesn't need color pictures: I love the line drawings.
