Good Book

This is a great book-while it is not complete it is a great companion. I did notice here that the only place to get this book now is from "massbookstore". Look elsewhere-the last time I bought a book from them it was not properly wrapped for shipping, the jacket was a mess with some mold growing on it. It was not even in poor condition and they advertised it as "used-very good condition."

Very enjoyable, especially for the amateur tree fan

If you enjoy tree guides, you'll find this satisfying. While not the most complete guide available, the illustration are great, as is usually the case in Eyewitness guides. If you are interested in trees as a beginner or hobbyist this book is great for helping to actually recognize the trees included and getting a little interesting information on each one. I also own the Eyewitness guide to herbs and have used both these books a lot, mostly for browsing through in my spare time.

Best tree book ever

This book is great now you can take a leaf and with this book get family,botanical and common names. My landscaping class used it more than anything else. Best money I ever spent.The Identification key in the front of the book is a great time saver when trying to find what tree you are looking at.

All about trees

I LOVE THIS BOOK! I am a horticulture student and I got this book to help me with tree ID. If I wasn't a student, this book would still be WONDERFUL. It is easy to follow- any one who wants to identify trees could use this book. It has become my favorite book! I was able to identify every tree I came across on mt vacation in the San Juans.

Visual guide to over 500 tree species of the world

This book has 600 full-color photos of more than 500 species of trees. All descriptions of tree features are located immediately adjacent to the photos. The book contains an introduction that explains what a tree is and a visual identity key to illustrate the difference between conifers, broadleafs and palms. This is followed by the tree photos and descriptions, in turn followed by a glossary and index. The book does not include all minor varieties found in the U.S. but it includes trees from all over the world. For United States tree fans, it makes a good companion book for a U.S. oriented guide to identify imported specie
