“[a] beautifully produced book that can be enjoyed on several levels. I suspect that most readers will start with Sarah Simblet’s exquisite drawings that grace almost every spread and, with their detailed captions, capture the character of individual trees and convey botanical details with enviable skill.”
“The text is a reference source for questions ranging from seed germination to timber characteristics, but flows so well the reader will be beguiled into consuming large sections at a single sitting.”
