Yep, as above, Collins Tree Guide is the bible and Roger Philips' is most excellent (as are all his photo-guides).

For very clear guides to the common species and for glove-box guides I would also recommend:

Keith Rushforth; Easy Tree Guide.

Humphries Press & Sutton; Hamlyn Guide: Trees of Britain & Europe.

Herbert Edlin; The Tree Key. (A bit older.1976/8 but no worse for that)

It goes without saying that Alan Mitchell's Collins Field Guide should also be on everyone's shelf.

I have the Observers Book of Trees and Shrubs of the British Isles and another book called A colour guide to familiar trees leaves, bark and fruit by Jaromir Pokorny illustrated by Jirina Kaplicka which is too old to have an ISBN but the illustrations are superb and look hand painted. Just looked and there are a couple on Amazon reprinted in 1975.
