    Four of my more favorite "tree books":

    1. We have some good reference materials for western trees too. Here's one you can get from our "OSU" - Oregon State University.

    2. The 900+ Page 1949 Yearbook of Agriculture - as a boy this was my Tom Sawyer and my Robinson Caruso.

    [​IMG]


    3. The Man Who Planted Trees - Just Very Inspirational.

    [​IMG]


    And this one I got when I was nine or ten, and it has real veneer strips of 40 woods inside the front cover.
