"The second updated edition of a definitive work on the woody plants of Alaska updates an edition that has been the standard on the topic for over three decades. Any collection specializing in Alaska botany must have this: it completely revises information and provides updates on habitat and taxonomy plus offers a centerfold of color photos in addition to the black and white drawings throughout. Descriptions of leaves, twigs, bark, wood appearance, flowers, habitat and distribution make for invaluable study and reference."
—The Midwest Book Review, California Bookwatch
"An excellent reference [that] belongs in the botanist's library or in the library of anyone interested in landscaping indigenous plants. It's also good for people who just want to tell one tree from another."
—Alaska Magazine
"A book of very high quality [that] should be a constant companion of both researchers and interested naturalists who enjoy the delightful offerings of western North American northlands."
