 Disappointing December 1, 2005
16 out of 23 found this review helpful
This book is small (4.5 * 3.25 inches approx) so some people might have a problem reading the text.. The descriptions are very short,too limited for my liking.
. But what really lets this book down are the quality of the drawings which are very poor, even blurry and lacking detail in many examples.
Not a bad buy at this price - to use as a memory jogger when you're out and about - but I would not recommend it, especially not to the inexperienced tree spotter.
 Still the favourite February 22, 2005

I've been studying and working in ecology since 1987 and this is still the first book I turn to. Descriptions are clear and concentrate on distinguishing features. It's divided nicely into closely related groups with additional pages on fruits and nuts with a simple bark/leaf key. There's also a description of tree buds for winter ID.
