 RECOMMENDED BOOKS

      The classical Flora usually address very partially the maritime lichens and only the very common species are described. Therefore, comprehensive lichens Flora are required to seriously investigate the lichens of the coastal regions. Unfortunately there is no recent book in French and we suggest two English books that deal with all lichens. A German and two French books are also useful to consider if you want to complete your collection.

LICHENS An Illustrated Guide to the British and Irish Species. Frank S. Dobson. The Richmond Publishing Co. LTD. 5th edition 2005. Out of print. This book is very practical and well illustrated. The maritime lichens are well addressed since the author is a well-known specialist in this field. Useful during field expeditions  and accessible to beginners.

LICHENS An Illustrated Guide to the Bristish and Irish Species. Franck S. Dobson. The Richmond Publishing Co. Ltd. 6th edition 2011. Complete and revise the previous edition. Unfortunately, photos are reduced to thumbnails and sometimes of poor quality.
