  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. I was so happy to discover a friend’s copy of The Sibley Guide to Trees. The explanations are exceptionally clear. I found the book too heavy to take into the field and was excited about the prospect of getting it for my ipad. I hope an electronic version will be forthcoming. I noticed that most of the folks who said the same thing made their posts in 2010. At that time there was no reply.. Is there an update about an electronic version? Hope so! In the meantime I will get the print version to keep at home. –Marie, Cambridge, MA

    1. Hi Marie, Thanks for your interest, I’m glad you like the book. There have been some dicussions about making an app of the Tree guide, and I’m hopeful, but nothing firm yet.

    I would love the TREE GUIDE available in coffee table sized… I enjoy that book so much, I actually get excited when I see it sitting there when I come home, which is a reaction I’ve never had from a book before.
