A VERY HANDY LITTLE FIELD GUIDE
I like this particular publication as the photographs are quite clear and the color is great. This discriptive data is quite good, if a bit brief. This by no means covers all the trees found in the state is Missouri, but of the 119 species covered, it does quite well. It must the remembered that no one field guide can fill all needs. I also like to carry Trees of Missouri by Don Durz, which does not feature photographs, but rather very nice drawings and the narrative is a bit more complete. Between the two guides, most trees can be identified. I would probably actually give this one four and one half stars. I do highly recommend.

Nice Little Field Guide
This is a nice little paperback field guidebook. Has a full-page color picture of the leaves, bark, tree flowers and fruit. Nicely written and organized by looking at the thumb tabs in the upper right-hand corner of the text pages. These tabs define the section of the book. They combine several identifying features of a tree into one icon. I have the Audubon Society tree book, which is good, but this is better since it identifies the common trees we would have in Missouri and Kansas. Identified a couple of trees in the park that I walk around that I did not know what they were by using the book.

Great photographs
I love the pictures of the leaves and bark, really helps alot. Including the flowers and fruits of the different trees. The problem with the book is that the cover came off the first day and the book will be falling apart after a few more uses.
