Review:

If your quickness in identifying arboreal flora of Virginia has decayed, or if you prize well-executed books of natural history, this may be just the thing to keep you fresh and keep your bookshelf up to date.

(Richmond Times-Dispatch)

Gupton and Swope have once again created an informative but beautiful handbook.
