Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

There have been very few--if any--books devoted to maples, the genus acer. This truly comprehensive one is the result of 19 years of work by the scholar-authors. The largest section is a proposed revision of the genus, combined with a detailed description of hybrids and cultivars. Other chapters cover such subjects as the history of maple names, maple structure, native habitats and distribution, pests and diseases, propagation, paleobotany and evolution, and reproduction and taxonomy. The book will be of interest to botanists because of its taxonomic and nomenclatural data and its thorough (69-page) bibliography. There are 207 color photographs of significant species and cultivars, as well as 5 black-and-white photos and numerous line drawings. George Cohen

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best book on Maples, April 27, 2003
By Thomas L. Ogren (San Luis Obispo, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'm a garden writer myself (author of Allergy-Free Gardening) and I do extensive research on trees. I like to own all the finest, most in-depth books there are on as many genera of trees and shrubs as possible, since I make my living by researching which landscape plants cause allergies. Maples of the World isn't perfect and left me in question on a few things, but really, I have quite a few books on the genus Acer and this one is head and shoulders above all the rest. It has a very deep, terribly well-researched section on all the different cultivars of maples. It is well-written, well thought out, and the writers are bona fide maple experts. If you love maples (and what serious gardener doesn't?) consider buying this book. It isn't [inexpensive], but then it is a very large book, with tons of illustrations in color and many excellent drawings. Treat yourself to this valuable addition to your own personal horticultural library.

4.0 out of 5 stars Informative garden essential, June 9, 2007
A very well informed book with very detailed information about the Acer species. Factual well presented and illustrated, covering all aspects and wide variety of species. A must for arborists and hordiculturalists.
