 GREAT hiking companion! November 5, 2006
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have had this book since grade school, and I love it more and more with each passing year. This book is excellent for identifying trees. I particularly like the color plates. One can identify a tree simply by leaf shape, type of fruit, and/or flower color using the color plates in the front half of the book and then read up on the trees in the back half of the book.
 Quite reliable for outdoor travellers. July 11, 2004
The Audubon Guide to Western Trees will prove a long lasting reference for outdoor lovers and tree finders. This easily equals the excellent Eastern Region guide in quality, detail, number of species listed, and beautiful photographs. However, if you want a heavy duty instant identification tool, hold off on this and purchase the Peterson Guides to Trees. However, if you love to marvel at trees and identify them in any amount of time at all, buy this along with the Eastern Guide. The quality binding of this newly updated edition is nice quality, and easy to carry. The earlier, out of print, hardback Economy Press edition was bulky, but contained more species listings. Still that difference is hardly noticeable, and buy this edition at good costs. This guide, (compared to the Petersons) will please a patient outdoor searcher attempting to identify any tree they find. Though the Peterson Guide to Trees should be bought prior to this, it is still an excellent and reliable addition to your collection.

This is a beautifully bound, easy to use book that gives all kinds of info on many different trees. The size is perfect for tucking away in your pocket when you're not using it.
beautiful book, but very small April 6, 2003
this was a beautiful book, but very small in size, be sure to check the size of the book to make sure thats the size you want.
Great reference! July 7, 2002

We just purhased some new land with an abundance of trees. While I don't consider myself to be a tree expert, there where quite a few that stumped my husband and I. This is where this great little book came in handy. It lets you identify trees based on either flower, leaf, bark, etc and has them sorted into appropriate sections with colored photos. Needless to say, we have used this book time and time again. It is a nice size too so that you can take it with you.
