Title: Guide to Guyanan Timber Trees
Review: This is not the typical modern full-color-field-guide, buth rather a more traditional guide book. In 83 entries (describing one species each, but totalling 115 spp according to the publisher) it gives per entry: a page of text (name, common name, selected references, vernacular names, botanical description, field characteristics, ecology and distribution, notes); a page with a b&w line-drawing (giving excellent details, but overall not of the stunning quality found in, say, Voorhoeve's "Liberian high forest trees"); and in back of the book a color photograph (of very good quality, 5.7x9.1cm) each of the bark and of the slash. All in all a pretty good book, although notably the typography could be a lot better...
