Book Reviews of An Instant Guide to Trees
Book Review: An OK Book On Tree Identification
Summary: 3 Stars
This book is not very informative and the pictures of leaves are all illustrations. It is also not a very well organized book, but it is cheap, so it is worth the money. Since you can identify leaves by their shape this book is useful even though the leaves in the book are not quite like the leaves on the actual trees. We have still been able to use this book to identify about 3/4th of the trees we have on our property. We own 43 acres of woods.lol I would say that if you are ok with a no frills book without to much info and you want a book cheap, then this is a good book to buy.
Summary of An Instant Guide to Trees
An Instant Guide to Trees is an ideal compact identification guide to trees commonly seen in gardens, parks, and in the countryside.This user-friendly guide assumes no previous knowledge: an easy-to-follow system of color-coded bands and symbols (denoting different leaf shapes) leads quickly to the correct section of the book. Detailed, full-color illustrations of leaves, shape of tree, fruit and flowers, plus a concise but informative text, make it easy to identify positively nearly 200 trees found in North America. "Lookalike" panels help prevent confusion between trees of similar appearance.
