The guide’s six double-sided panels fold up into a packet narrow enough to fit in a back pocket yet sturdy enough to stand up under repeated use. Lamination has also made the guide waterproof.

I've found this guide to be an excellent way to identify the dragonflies I find, both for use while in the field, but even more so for those I photograph. The scans they use are crystal clear and they've made them as large as possible by only showing the inner half of one set of wings....since their wings on each side are mirror image of the other, this works well and was a clever idea. The information about each species is succinct. Be aware that the authors have used the English word "Dragonflies" to mean "Anisoptera" and there are no damselflies in this guide. I hope they make one for the damsels next!!
Would recommend this pamphlet to everyone who is interested in our beautiful dragonflies. Purchased several, one for my Mother, one for Great Nephew and of course one for self. It is good to have as reference.
good photos
