| *SPLIT YOUR BOOK AND LIGHTEN THE LOAD! (Add $10.00) |
| For a more portable and convenient alternative to carrying the full field guide, we can "split" your guide. We can remove the color plates that occupy the middle section of the book, bind them in a plastic spiral binding, and do the same with the remaining text. One may choose to carry only the plates with the short descriptions while in the field, leaving the text at the lodge to refer to later - eliminating more than 70% of the weight of the book! |
