Fantastic reference for NW trees

I really enjoyed this book but only wished there was a little more artful depictions of some of the distinguishing factors of trees.

Regional Masterpiece

If you want to learn about the flora and fauna of the PNW, start with the trees and in particular with this book. It is peerless among Northwest nature books--interesting to read and full of black and white drawings of the highest quality. You will quickly find yourself able to identify all of the native and naturalized trees.
