Customer Reviews
Recommended for tree spotting beginners - Rated I lead tree courses and often recommend this little book for beginners. It has all the information and illustrations you need to get started, with, in my opinion, excellent pictures of leaves, flowers, fruit, winter twigs, bark and, best of all, the tree. Tree shapes in this book are truer than in many more ambitious works. Compact, That is its Beauty - Rated No, this is not the best book ever written about trees, but it is handy to have in your pocket. and on a walk or in the countryside you will not see many trees that are not in this book. As one reviewer has already said the drawings could be better, but they are adequate for the casual 'tree spotter' The information given about each tree is also adequate. There are many more advanced books that can be purchased for the real tree enthusiast (if there is such a term) and these can be used at home after you have made an identification from the Collins gem. Easy, simple and fun - Rated Bought this book when we moved into a new house in '06. We now have five trees in our garden and plenty more in the surrounding area. Being an inquisitive sort of person I wanted to know what they were and decided on this little book from some reviews on Amazon. I was not dissapointed, really easy to use and in no time I had found out what I wanted. Clear and easy instructions and illustrations too. It does exactly what it says on the tin. Disappointing - Rated This book is small (4.5 * 3.25 inches approx) so some people might have a problem reading the text.. The descriptions are very short,too limited for my liking. . But what really lets this book down are the quality of the drawings which are very poor, even blurry and lacking detail in many examples. Not a bad buy at this price - to use as a memory jogger when you're out and about - but I would not recommend it, especially not to the inexperienced tree spotter. Still the favourite - Rated I've been studying and working in ecology since 1987 and this is still the first book I turn to. Descriptions are clear and concentrate on distinguishing features. It's divided nicely into closely related groups with additional pages on fruits and nuts with a simple bark/leaf key. There's also a description of tree buds for winter ID.
