Books required for Lantra Tree Inspection Course

[Leicester Tree Care]

 

Hi, I am looking at signing up for the Lantra 3 day course in Professional Tree Inspection.

As a prerequisite I am expected to own and have read the following list of books:

I have tree Identification books but that is all from the list so far.

 

Does anyone have any old copies lying around that they would be willing to sell? Or maybe someone could direct me to some downloadable pdf's perhaps?

 

Cheers in advance.
