Trees of Eastern North America: Princeton Field Guides by Gil Nelson - Perfect for Hiking, Camping, and Nature Study

As a resource for identifying trees, this will do the job, but this is not a small or light book, which might make it difficult to use as a field guide. It's quite heavy and 2 inches thick, over 700 pages. There are hand painted images, not pictures, in case that is important to know. This is definitely going to be a great, helpful desk resource but probably not going into the field.
