About this deal
It opened up the whole subject for me and I am now happily identifying and learning about my local trees and shrubs with great confidence. Individual species are then thoroughly described and a detailed illustration features on the same page.
Every species is also comprehensively illustrated with photographs of every useful feature - bark, leaf, seed, flower, twig and whole tree. These are not the same for all trees, because one feature may be more distinctive on one than another. There is no key at the begining so it makes it difficult to accuratly identify the tree your looking at, but the pictures and descriptions and measurments are very accurate, providing you can recognise the family the tree is from.Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item.
Each species is covered in detail with information on how to identify, whether from a leaf, twig, bark or whole tree, plus extra information on where the tree grows (including a map), how high they grow, what uses the tree is used for and its unique history. We hope you will be delighted with every purchase, but if not, we will offer you a replacement or a full refund - whatever the reason. On pages 64-65 there is a "Places to Visit" list, with web addresses, listing natural woodlands and arboreta that the enthusiast might like to visit. Excellent book - well written - good quality paper - good quality photos and lots of them- the writing is not so small and I can read perfectly - one of the best tree reference books I have seen so far.As well as the pages which focus on idenifying and describing the different species (pages 68 - 312) the openeing chapters deal with a range of fascinating and related topics (pages 4 -68).
