What is truly incredible about this small guide are the fantastic black & white drawings by Jane Gyer. They are almost negative-like in quality and truly enhance the descriptions of the trees included in this guide.

Lovely pen illustrations and great explanations and information that offers more than most tree-identifying books. A nice companion book for a dryer identifier book.
