Thanks Kevin, It is now fixed.
Dear David, I sent my daughter Lauren,who is a biologist in the Everglades a copy of ” Trees” for Xmas. She got her thesis on Slash pines.Her comment on your book,”Sibley did a good job on the trees”. And you did. Good luck, Andy.
Any chance that Guide To Trees will be coming to the iphone/ipad any time soon?
Guide to Trees would be incredible on the iPhone!
May I ‘third’ that?
‘Fourth’ vote for Sibley Guide to Trees on iPad (for richness, for browsing at home) and iPhone (for use when walking and hiking).
This would be great on a a Blackberry Playbook as well. Just the right size for hiking – big enough to read, small enough to fit in my jacket pocket.
