Disappointing :-( - Rated I recently bought this little book to try to find out about the spiders I come across in the countryside, in my garden, & in my home! I was really disappointed with it, as although the book is pocket size & easy to slip into a rucksack to take on a walk, unfortunately, it is DIFFICULT TO USE. It's the categorisation that makes it so UN-useable: spiders from all over the world (from the same families but) that look very different are listed together, & there is no quick reference to help you pick out the European from the rest of the world. Also British spiders are not specifically categorised. Most disappointingly, many of the pictures are very poor: indistinct & blurred, & their tiny size acerbates the problem. I have yet to locate a spider in the book that I've seen in real life, apart from a very poisonous Australian one that I saw many years ago! I was particularly disappointed as I have other Pocket Gems that are much more practical to use: such as the one on Mushrooms, which is clearly categorised & has excellent pictures. My disappointment is so great that this is the 1st book that I've felt strongly enough about to consider returning, & the 1st time I've written a review (since there are no others to warn people). On the plus side: it does seem to contain many of the world's spiders!
