Fall Color Finder: A Pocket Guide to Autumn Leaves

by Ritchie C. Bell, C. Ritchie Bell, Anne H. Lindsey

This small pocket guide to the more common fall color trees (6 X 4, 64 pp) contains 60 striking color photographs and the basic information to help you identify what tree you're looking at. A unique step-by-step method lets you identify a specific tree from the photos, drawings of leaves, and maps of the ranges where you can find each species. Tourists, teachers, and serious field botanists alike will find this a useful and enjoyable guidebook. The identification key is easy enough for school groups to use, but sophisticated enough to satisfy the amateur botanist. A Leaf/Shape Color Index allows quick identification of a tree by leaf shape and color.

Good pictures and leave descriptions but only covers on the Eastern United States.

The format's lovely, but the only problem is that the trees listed don't give a little graphic of the overall tree shape (at a distance). Shame. It'd be great if they'd done that.
