Field Guide Fetish

Field Guide Fetish,
originally uploaded by Gavatron.

Just realized, while tidying up today, that I have two book shelves FULL of field guides. What can I say? I love books, I’m curious about the natural world and I make collections.

I’m lucky enough that I have a discount/used book store where I can usually stock up (my latest purchases there were Observing the Moon and the Stokes’ Animal Tracking and Behavior.

I’m most excited about a book I had to order from Alibris: Myxomycetes: A Handbook of Slime Molds. I think that Slime Molds are the neatest thing.
