Nice find.

I have the book as well as most of the published pamphlets. I downloaded most of the relevant pdfs and had them printed out, put them in a binder. They're a great resource and like the man says the price is right.

X3 on the quality of the book! Excellent photos and explanations of the various tree diseases and rots!
I'm further south, but many of these trees still apply along the coastal range down here.

Besides my heart is in B.C... I've just got to get my body up there. I recently found out one of the northern gulf islands has a town carrying my family's name - hmmm, maybe I should look into that some more...
