Title: Not the perfect Tree book
Review: This is a beautiful book. There is no doubt that the photography is first rate. But it fails as a useful reference book to identify trees. The book tries to do too much. It wants to be a picture book. It wants to include most of the world's trees. Unfortunately, it does not do what I wanted which is to easily identify trees in our local parks and woodlands from the tree's general appearance and their leaves and flowers or bark. For example, many of the trees do not have photos or drawings of their leaves. Some only show a long distance view of the tree and nothing else. Trees that grow in Asia are next to trees that grow in the Northwest. There are many tree books. If you want a picture book, buy this book. If you want a simple and easy guide, shop around.
