[IBC] Dover Publications - Tree books
This is page 1 of 6 pages of Dover Publications books on nature.
They include, scattered throughout, 5-6 excellent tree ID books for various parts (or all) of North America. The set by Little is THE authoritative tree ID. I have most of these and can recommend them all. http://store.doverpublications.com/b...general-1.html I stumbled across this resource while looking for material on Native American beadwork for Jackie. Got 3 for her.

[IBC] Dover Publications - Tree books
Jim:
One book that could interest those who do virtuals for their styling work - ideas and tree anatomy details - is from Dover _Artistic Anatomy of Trees_, inexpensive, I think $11.95. I recommend it to students in art. Dover is one of my favorite resources. Lynn Lynn Boyd, Oregon, USA From Jim Lewis: This is page 1 of 6 pages of Dover Publications books on nature.

[IBC] Dover Publications - Tree books
Lynn & Jim: Dover Publications was founded by a former neighbor of mine,
Hayward Cirker. He died about 2 years ago. When he went into the publishing business, he knew absolutely nothing about it, except that he wanted to publish material that nobody else wanted to touch. His bet paid off big time because he had the field all to himself. His widow, Blanche, still runs the firm.

His bet paid off big time because he had the field all to himself. His widow, Blanche, still runs the firm. Marty I've known about Dover Publications for a long time. My father, who collected incunabula (OLD, OLD, OLD books and writing), old hand-made paper, and other literary antiquities, would always query Dover when he acquired a "new" item to see if the publisher had a reprint of the -- often unreadable or too fragile to read -- text in question. On a startlingly large number of occasions, they did. We always had Dover catalogs around the house, and I still have several of their folklore books from my old days as a folkie singing the folk festival circuit. I'd never been to the website, though, so I spent a while there yesterday. They have a large number of Japan-related publications: a classic book on Japanese gardens that I'm going to buy, a book that I'm also going to get on woodblock prints, a couple of CDs with clip art of Japanese heraldry and other Japanese designs, etc. that I may or may not get. For those of you that grow other things than bonsai there is a very large gardening section; naturalists have an even larger palate to choose from (some of it cited yesterday), and the art catalog seems almost limitless. There's a big section on Oriental religions (and other religious pathways, as well). I can see that I'm going to be a bit poorer for a while as I sort through it all. All in all, there seemed to be something for most every (legal) taste. www.doverpublications.com Jim Lewis - - Tallahassee, FL - Who just sent his son a Dover E-birthday card ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Mike Page ++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?
