"A beautiful, masterful, and much-needed work that will henceforth be our guide to North American trees." --Edward O. Wilson, biologist and ecologist, on The Sibley Guide to Trees
"I am delighted that the very talented David Sibley has 'branched out' to include trees. His illustrations are ideal, and the fact that he chooses to give more examples and variations than other guides will make this a very useful handbook." --Robert Bateman, author, on The Sibley Guide to Trees
