Customer Reviews

A wonderful gift for palm lovers
While "Palm Trees: A Story in Photographs" does not contain the detailed information that experts and amateur enthusiasts would refer to for guidance or research, it is an esthetic jewel of a book whose magnificent photos render it the perfect "coffee table" item for palm lovers everywhere.

What a Beautiful Book
I read about this book in a local newspaper and was dying to get my hands on it and I was not disappointed. I love palm trees and living in California (southern) we enjoy seeing many types. If you are looking for a reference book or field guide this is not it. It is a gem of a coffee table book that everyone who has sat on my couch has been tempted to thumb through.

Beautiful pictures--very informative.
We really like this book. It has a lot of the different types of palm trees in it with beautiful pictures and good, dscriptive information.
