The content is impeccable and allows even beginners to find it finally. Personally I waited several months after its reissue that I was recommended by my pharmacist. Many illustrations, accurate descriptions, number of exhaustive treated species. The publisher has unfortunately not thought that such a book could be widely consulted and even took the field. The choice of a paperback edition is connected rather than disastrous. The insufficiently thick cover will not last long. It should be widely open the book to be able to simultaneously enjoy the description on the left and the illustration on the right. It breaks the spine and causes the risk of the pages pluck the following fall is real. It's a bit shameful on the part of Flammarion and have neglected the issue of such a bestseller (No. 1 in sales in the mushroom category as I write this). One star less for the publisher so that the book deserved 5.
