This is an excellent companion, for any lover of Japanese Maples, to the Hardcover volume, "Japanese Maples" and it is transportable and can be used as a reference on the go. The descriptions and photos are spot on and it's organized by landscape purpose, location and size. It also includes 50 new cultivars. I would strongly recommend it.

Pocket Guide to Japanese Maples is an excellent companion to the ultimate maple reference book entitled, Japanese Maples by J.Vertrees and Peter Gregory. I find this book to be well thought out and consolidated. It includes addition information as to cultivation and some newer cultivar. This book gives the reader the most important information quickly, easily and succinctly. I is a very welcome addition and most appreciated.

Small brief and compact but very detailed synopsis of the about 300 cultivar. Useful for taking to the nursery or when you go to gardens with cultivar. Well illustrated and designed for quick reference.

Excellent resource for identifying maples' leaves, colors, sizes, groups,etc. Nice size and feel to the book. Highly recommend, especially for someone just starting out in learning about these beautiful specimens!

I'm a acer lover and it's the most amazing beautiful book that I have knowledgement. I have some magazines and another papers that talking about japanese maples, but nothing like this. For enthusiasts or acer lovers, like me, I recomend this book!

For such a small book it had great information and wonderfully clear pictures. I work in a nursery and use this book as an aid to show customers how the mature trees will look. It has come in handy along with the other Timber Press Pocket Guides!!! Love it.

A great resource for home gardeners and professionals alike. No more making impulse purchases and then discovering the cute 5' sapling will grow to a 30' monster in 5 years!
The section on 'Japanese maples for specific purposes and locations' is particularly helpful for designers looking for that 'perfect' tree.
I wish I had bought two; one for home and one for the car!

I was pleased with the whole turnaround time and the quality of the book is wonderful. The book is a pure delight for anyone who loves Japanese Maples.

this is a must for maple enthousiasts. it has plenty of pictures and descriptions, for the price you will not find better.
what I missed is a chapter about pests and diseases of these trees.
what is very good is a specific chapter where you can find the different species sorted by color, size, autumn color ...

For any one who loves Japanese Maples this is a must have reference book & a feast for the eye's.
