I love looking at trees, and I've been really interested learning to identify them. This book was on sale at Barnes and Noble, but I also compared it to the Audubon and Smithsonian field guides, and actually liked this one the best. It's in full color, and most of the entries show the whole tree as well as closeups of the leaves, bark, and fruit. Love it.

Not enough pictures; doesn't show where trees grow naturally. Audubon field guides are far better.

I bought this because I'm an artist and trees are one of my favorites to express emotion in drawings and paintings. slim field guide if you are indeed interested in taking it to identify trees. NatGeo never misses with books.

How do you catch trees in little pictures? They tried. Not bad.
