Guide Rating -  
Pros  •  Top notch collection of bark, leaf, fruit, flowers and fall photos
•  "thumb tab" shape index refers you to the appropriate section.
•  Author is a preeminent dendrologist and subject matter expert.
Cons  •  Might be a bit hard to use for tree identification novices.
The Bottom Line - This book is easy to use by anyone who is generally familiar with tree identification.  It is a product of the United States Forest Service's Chief Dendrologist and tree identification expert.  You can identify a tree by using four keys including leaf shape, flowers, fruit and autumn color including a "thumb tab" of botanical shapes.

Guide Review Excerpt
"Field Guide to Trees makes identifying trees as easy as looking at a picture - literally. Offering some of the best photos of flowers, bark, fruit, and leaf shapes I have seen, this book and a companion book covering the western U.S. makes tree identification easy. In fact, both books go with me on all my vacations and business trips."
