Substantial and comprehensive guide to the trees of Britain and non-Mediterranean Europe, covering shape, height, leaf appearance, bark, buds, flowers, variants and similar trees. Identification is built in the text around diagnostic features, with over 1500 trees described. Even winter twigs are covered. A most huggable tome. Light creasing to wrapper edges in places, several minor indents to wrapper on rear cover, but overall a nice crisp copy. Near fine in at least VG dustwrapper. Very heavy book weighing c2700g when parcelled, exceeding the postage quotation default weight of 1000g and thus incurring extra postage over the default for orders from overseas and those sent in the UK.
