Jenny, I too cannot recommend this book enough. Maybe it's because I'm a working,climbing arborist, but the way that Preston writes is Awesome!
Will, do you remember in the book when Kevin Hillery fell 100' from the top of a tree and survived? He actually grew up in Sunapee NH, a half hour from me. He still works in trees and climbs "Wild Trees" in Oregon where he lives. Did you get a chance to climb again with Steve Sillett and his wife? Any chance that you could write about your resent climb?

Awesome book! I recently climbed with the subjects of the book.

I am too overwhelmed with how much there is to know about trees and forests. Can anyone recommend some fiction involving trees, forests, timber, logging, land conservation, etc? (Also, on another subject, interested in shipping history in New England - also fiction) Bob, I know you must have something good to recommend from your Harlequin Romances collection...
