 Stokes Dragonfly Book July 26, 2008
This book is a handy little pocket guide. There is a beginning key to direct the user towards the right type of dragonfly, and useful information and descriptions of the anatomy of the insect. There is no way a book this size can include every species; they make sure they have enough representatives of each family that if you do not find the one you are looking for you can at least narrow the search to the family before looking further. This is a nice and inexpensive guide.
Wonderful Beginner Book November 6, 2007
I bought this book because it received good reviews at this site. I knew virtually nothing about dragonflies/damselflies at the time. I love this book because it is small enough to carry in the field and the illustrations and other info are detailed enough to identify those little critters IF they rest long enough for a good view.
Excellent starter book. July 26, 2007

Although I already had other more advanced books, I am glad that I bought this book also. It is well laid out, and very helpful to a newcomer to Odes. This book delves into many aspects of the Dragonfly life cycle, and contains many useful photos.
One of the Best Pocket Guides in Print April 16, 2007

This concise little guide is designed with the beginner in mind with its tons of information on distinguishing the difference between dragonflies and their cousins the damselflies. It come replete with lots of large photos of many of the major species of Odonata. Its only shortcoming is that is tends to lean more to species of the eastern United States. For this reason, family species like the Setwings, among others, are omitted.
Especially helpful is the introduction and easy id charts on the inside of front and back covers. This little book is worth its weight in gold on account of these charts alone!
