I really enjoyed this book. Despite a lot of scientific terms, I found myself googling images of trees I found interesting. Top 3 trees I hope to see in person one day:
1. Rainbow Eucalyptus
2. Looking Glass Mangrove
3. Swollen Baobab

I bought this book because it is stunningly illustrated. However, it's so much more than that. It is informative without being dry, and entertaining but clearly well researched. The amount of detail is perfect for this style of book. I read the whole thing.
