A Book About Trees
I'm not sure about many things in life, but I'm *very* sure I will never utter this sentence, either aloud or in my head:
I have always been a bit ashamed of my lack of knowledge about tree species...
But if you're as tortured as the reviewer is over your lack of knowledge about trees, this is the book for you. The Penguin UK version (top) looks great, although there's part of me that expects Frodo Baggins be hiding in there somewhere. The US hardcover version (bottom) perhaps recognized that, and thus came up with something blander than bland.

The UK version is so much better. The U.S. version puts me to sleep.
I think perhaps the US version is trying for truth in advertising. I'm willing to bet trees don't want a love letter printed on paper made from their crushed relatives. Just a thought.
Ironic, huh?
Both actually match their respective titles.
I absolutely love the UK cover! Love your Frodo comment :)
