A Field Guide to Weeds masquerades as a 19th century pocket guide, but a guide in which the weeds themselves have taken over.

Oh my. My nick name with some people, is Swiss Miss. Your blog page looks absolutely wild and can't wait to check it out more. My sister would love this "weed" book!!!!
(My friend actually thought I was Swiss when she introduced me to her cousin on a blind date... I'm really Swedish. Close enough?)

I love this book and the simplicity of graphic use. I posted this book on my design blog as well- couldn't help but share it.

I tried buying one but it's sold out already!
And the lady from the company said it wasn't going to be reprinted until 2009... sigh. Makes me sad.
