That sounds like a good book series, should I be putting that into book club? got an ISBN number?

 

You would have dificulty there, I made the names up in a failed attempt at humour.

I have a nice go to book called a colour guide to trees, leaves , bark and fruit by Jaromir Pokorny with illustrations by Jirina Kaplicka. It's not a comprehensive cover of all trees but it covers the common ones I come across. The pictures are like hand painted and the book is old but it is still available cheap second hand. This is it.
