Will update list as I find more plant ID books I like! In my opinion, a lot of the moderate plant ID books tend to be better for learning, but if you want to go at a slower pace, grab a more beginner one. I don’t recommend getting an expert level plant ID book until you can comfortably navigate through a moderate one. Have fun identifying! :)
