This
is a beautifully illustrated listing of California conifers. Large color
illustrations, color photographs, and in-depth descriptions make this book
an informative guide for tree lovers. Somewhat large (7" x
91/4") to pack around as a field guide, this is a wonderful home
reference book. The drawings are detailed, showing needles, cones, and
seeds, and are reminiscent of early day field guide illustrations. This
would make a thoughtful gift! |
