First printing. A beautiful book, the last of Borland's collaborations with Les Line, editor of 'Audubon' and an award-winning nature photographer, as well as a friend and neighbor. Contains "nearly eighty delightful, informal essays on the trees--and some commonly found shrubs and vines--of the North American woodlands. Most of the trees are indigenous to New England but he also includes trees like the pinyon pine of the Southwest, the bristle-cone pine of California (thought to be the oldest living thing on earth), and the pecan of Texas. Each essay is a vivid and knowledgeable portrait of a particular species, filled with the Borland enchantment--a disarming mix of country wit, folklore and instruction." Each essay is accompanied by a gorgeous full-color photograph by Line (who contributed a few essays of his own.) Index of both common names and scientific names. Slightly oversized format, printed on heavy glossy stock. 184 pp. Very near fine in a good dustjacket (remainder mark, creases to dj flaps, short closed tear.). .ISBN # 0-394527240
