Guide to CO Wildflowers (vol 2) for Mountains by G.K. Guennel(also has a companion book for wildflower hikes that is great. If still in print, Alpine Wildflowers of the Rocky Mountains (Joseph Duft and Robert Moseley

This book just has black and white sketches but it lists trees and wildflowers and animals etc of the Poconos. The title is The Poconos - An illustrated Natural History Guide by Carl S Oplinger and Robert Halma I bought it at the Barnes and Nobles in Wilkes Barre. They have a really good section on PA and the Poconos.

I do old books searches (such as the time life series excellent by the way) now at amazon (used to be biblio find but amazon bought them out) and have a nice collection of older books on the subject. Some on ferns, terrariums, light gardening (indoor - part of time life series) rock gardening (time life series) they are much better then what I can find currently for the most part. (I just went to Amazon, and tried to do a search, didn't do so well, they have changed much. I know also that my nyc local garden club or horticultural society also had a library of these older books.) Here are links I've compiled over the years. (not edited) many wonderful sites.

I saw him speak at the Southern Festival of Books and liked him so well I bought two of his books. Loved, loved, loved both of them. I'm from the midwest, so when I think of a farmer I think of soy beans and corn, not peaches and grapes, but he changed my attitude! He passed out tiny jars of peach jam made from the fruit he talks about his attempts to save. It tasted like summer.
