The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent condition, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
From the back cover:
1000 Trees
From the California Redwood (Sequoia Endl.) to the Kentucky Coffee Tree (Gymnocladus dioicus Koch.), this compact illustrated manual describes every type of tree that grows in the United States and Canada. The reader can easily identify a tree by matching the characteristics of its leaves to those given in the General Key. Descriptions of buds, fruits, leaves, bark, and roots are provided, along with both the common and botanical name of each tree.
As an additional aid to easy identification, the book is arranged geographically so that trees are grouped according to their northeastern, western, or southern location. The authors' Introduction explains the basic anatomy of the tree and the chemical laboratories in its leaves–and stresses the vital importance of practicing conservation in our North American forests and woodlands.
