You have me beat on tree related books, or is this books in general. I have a lot of books, that would but me in the runnin.

Ditch the pole saw?? Is that what Arbormaster preaches??
If so then I'd say ditch Arbormaster. They may be masters at rigging removals, but if they ditch polesaws they can't prune tips.

Sounds like they're not tree surgeons but tree morticians.

Library size? If you include books on climbing Dunlap may have me beat. I've saved everything from every course and conference, and buy most of what comes out, so it's a pile. But as with other pleasurable activity, what you get out of reading about trees depends less on the volume you have and more on how you use it.

"It ain't the meat it's the motion", as the old jazz song goes, so I put a minilibrary in motion most every time I go out to work. Sinclair's Insect and Disease manuals, a handful of Shigo, Matheny & Clark, various article reprints, ISA and NADF brochures all fit into a crate that goes into the cab.

When a customer has a question, I answer it best I can, then point to a reference for confirmation. Most folks are very impressed when you can show you're up with industry information. They're the ones most likely to have more money to spend on trees, so books are the most important tools for doing quality work for quality clients.

I cant believe none of you smarties posted pics of your "adult" libraries. I thought they were sure to come!

A dolt library kinda sounds like an oxymoron to me like Civil War or Rap Music.
