Summary: A complete illustrative guide that is a handy reference.
Comment: If you're "stumped" (get it?) to identify a tree - this is the book you need. Although illustrated with black and white photos, the book is a picture-perfect guide. Leaves, bark, seed, fruits all are categorized. Text is somewhat minimal. (I would have enjoyed knowing the history behind the naming of certain trees and other trivia). This is the books only deficiency. It is a "must have" however for the nature enthusiast.

Summary: Tree Identification Book
Comment: As a land surveyor, back in the early '80s, I used a copy of this book for the year-round tree identification needs associated with my work (all seasons - with or without leaves). At some point my copy of the book disappeared, but job advancement placed me in the office, so I did without.
Recently, a return to performing occasional, outside survey work revived my need to identify trees. After scanning all the books available for this purpose off-the-shelf in a large book store, I lamented the loss of this book, for I found none as useful to me as this book. I assumed it was no longer in print. But, to my delight, I surfed the web and discovered it is still in print and readily available. While its photos are B&W, and not of the highest quality (little if any apparent change in the book in two decades), the book remains a standard, in my opinion, as a tool aptly suited to its name.

Summary: It Really Works
Comment: I bought a house without knowing what the 5 trees in front of it were. Using this book I guessed Apple and Cherry. The next year my spouse was surprised to find out I was right! The book gave me enough information to figure it out! And I knew nothing about trees!
