Thanks for the heads-up on that one, Heron.
Another one that I really like is Native Trees for North American
Landscapes, from my friend Guy Sternberg at Starhill Forest Arboretum (
http://www.starhillforest.com/ )- great photos!
I gave myself this one for Christmas - or my birthday - last year.

And, of course, then there's the 'Bible' of woody landscape plants, Dr.
Mike Dirr's Manual of Woody Landscape Plants
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0875637957/002-5141304-4829644?v=glance&n=283155
Nice line drawings, and chock full of info on ID, cultivars/selections,
propagation, advantages/disadvantages, etc.
And, for oak enthusiasts, a must-have is Lamb's Oaks of North America -
good descriptions, discussions of distribution & ecology for each species,
B&W photos of salient features(bark, twigs, leaves, acorns, etc.)
