While there are some nice photos, this book (at the approx $70. price) is way overpriced. The publisher seems to have spent some serious money on a jacket that attempts to oversell the content. What was most disconcerting was the abundance of pages with almost nothing on them in either words or photos. Having read other books on trees and seen some spectacular photography in them, this book pales in comparison. If you are a dendrologist or dendrophile, spend your money elsewhere - you will be sorely disappointed in this book. Much of what is written is well known and the contents offer little insight. Even at a very low price, I would not buy the book again.
