This is a good guide for an amateur like me. The photos are good and the text descriptions have lots of useful tips and information. It's a good addition for anybody's reference library.
 good packaging, mediocre content April 27, 2008

I was really excited to get this book. As I read it my opinion gradually declined. While it is a useful book, I have seen much better tree books, such as Michigan Trees (for those who live in the Great Lakes or Northeast). The book only cover the larger trees, for the most part. Many of the photos are of remarkably poor quality, and they tend not to show many good identifying characteristics. The writing seems disorganized, and the text does not go into detail about reliable identifying characteristics. The ranges given are extremely general.
Most of all, I was disappointed to find the book containing errors that seem inexcusable in a guide of this type. For example, the section on slippery elm says "Slicing through the bark at a gradual angle will usually expose thin layers of white inner bark divided by the thicker reddish brown bark, as is usually found in the elms." This is totally wrong: the ABSENCE of white layers in the bark is the feature used to tell slippery elm from the other elms. The photo he shows are of American elm bark, as can be clearly seen by the light creamy layers in the bark. How can this guide help people identify trees if the author can't even identify them?

This book is one of the best I have seen on the subject of identifying trees. The material is laid out very well and is easy to understand. The pictures are great and allows you to identify quickly in winter. I would defiantly recommend this to anyone interested.
Just what I wanted... January 14, 2008

Great pictures and great descriptions. I wanted to identify the trees on my property and it was very easy using this book. Everyone who guessed about one of my trees was wrong - it was a Tupelo - fancy that!

Identifying Trees: An All-Season Guide To Eastern North America
I bought this book because my 7th grader was required to identify 25 tree leaves and create a leaf identification book for his Science project. He was given the list of trees we were to look for, then gather the sample leaves and label. "Identifying Trees" provided a wide variety of basic instruction on the process of identifying trees and their leaves, the most likey location of the trees, and colorful pictures to make identifcation easy. I loved the book and am happy to have it as an addition to my personal library.
