[A] superb production, both as a succinct guide and also as a
handsome book. No milkweed makes the cut in this assemblage, but
plenty of other Texas-viable plants do. Browsing through Trees and
Shrubs will likely introduce you to plants you never knew about
before, some of which you might be inspired to try in your garden
or a patio container.--William Scheick "Texas Gardener" (4/1/2011

The authors and publisher should be congratulated for their
brilliant idea of dividing this plant encyclopedia into two
volumes, according to the types of plants. The handy size and
plastic cover of the books make them ideal for fieldwork, as well
as indoor research.-- "National Garden Clubs, Inc." (6/1/2011

While the encyclopedia is aimed at gardeners, its worldwide focus
makes it a good option for academic and public libraries in need of
a handy reference to common or interesting trees and shrubs.--Diane
