"This is an excellent landmark field guide that belongs in every naturalist's collection." --Donna Schulman, 10,000 Birds, This is a beautiful book, a joy to hold and to look at. Although it is a paperback, it is printed on sturdy glossy paper that will hold up well in the field. . . . [I] recommend it as an essential field guide to the dragonflies. -- Devorah Bennu, GrrlScientist, " Dragonflies and Damselflies of the East is by far the most complete treatment of its kind. It is chock-full of interesting and useful information, and the illustrations are excellent. Paulson is one of the top experts in this field and his book reflects that extensive knowledge on every page." --Giff Beaton, author of Dragonflies and Damselflies of Georgia and the Southeast, This is a beautiful book, a joy to hold and to look at. Although it is a paperback, it is printed on sturdy glossy paper that will hold up well in the field. . . . [I] recommend it as an essential field guide to the dragonflies. ---Devorah Bennu, GrrlScientist, This is an excellent landmark field guide that belongs in every naturalist's collection. -- Donna Schulman, 10,000 Birds, [T]hese volumes are obviously authoritative, comprehensive and clearly designed with the needs of the naturalist in mind. The photographs are excellent and . . . the text makes up for the unavoidable shortcomings of a photo-guide by including full descriptions of each species. Altogether, these two volumes constitute a complete, highly informative and beautifully illustrated guide to the Odonata of North America. ---Guy Padfield, UKbutterflies, "I truly believe that if there is such a thing as the 'must-have' book, Dragonflies and Damselflies of the East is IT. . . . It contains all 336 species of Odonata that have been found in eastern North America. Not just dragons or just damsels, [but] all Odonata. That means ONE book for everything. It has excellent full-color photographs that are large enough to see many of coloration and patterns that are important. . . . The species accounts are well-done with reference to similar species when appropriate. The natural history summaries for genera are very good, and valuable information for any ode enthusiast." --Mark O'Brien, Michigan Odonotes blog, "I truly believe that if there is such a thing as the 'must-have' book, Dragonflies and Damselflies of the East is IT. . . .

There really is no other book like it." --Allen E. Barlow, senior author of Field Guide to Dragonflies and Damselflies of New Jersey
