Title: Pictures not illustrations
Review: If you are looking for a practical guide to identifying the trees found North of Maryland and as far West as the Great Lakes you should add this book to your library. It is a gem. Even if your focus is in other regions Levinsons methods are practical guidance for the amateur. One comment I would make is about the claim to be an illustrated text. The transcribers note that they replaced the original woodcuts with arbitrary photos of trees or parts of trees. Hence a figure titled Pitch Pine Twig is clearly not pitch pine. Notwithstamding this peculiarity I still rate it at 5 for the merits of Levinsons work and the otherwise high quality of the trancription.
