Dear Greame Berlyn, dear IAWA members,

I am incredibly pleased to find the magnificent macrographs online.

I would like to refer to the following book representing the same
macrographs, but from the edition of Kew's Garden:

A reprint of "The American Woods (1888-1913, 1928) Romeyn Beck Hough" edited
(August 2002) under the title
"The Woodbook"
>From the original editions of the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, London

Editior: Taschen (Köln, London, Madrid, New York, Paris, Tokyo) -
http://www.taschen.de/pages/en/catalogue/books/architecture_design/all/facts
/02963.htm
The text is in English, German and French
