bboyminn:

I'll look at our local bookstore but it is very small. When I saw the
book I was in Minneapolis at Southdale mall. I may be going back up to
Minneapolis next week to see Driving Lessons, and I can check them,
but I'm sure the book was simply titled 'Trees' and it had a wide
green boarder on the green cover with a picture of a tree on it.
