The illustrations are very beautiful. It really is a book only intended to expedite visual identification (which is handy), and doesn't teach or impart any information on the life-cycle habits of trees, interesting evolutionary features. The indexing isn't very handy for people new to tree identification, and presumably this book is meant to be catering to them as well, and the map locations are really quite tiny. I've used other identification handbooks that gave more page space to the map, which is very useful.
This is also by no means a complete guide. We have around 60 unique species of Banksia in the south west of Western Australia, granted not all have tree habits, but the book only looks at about 6-7 and misses the rest. I feel like this book could have been more robust, or alternatively, more frank about its Eastern States bias.
