《美国木材》由罗梅因·贝克·霍夫于1888年至1913年间精心挑选并汇编而成，至今仍是一项令人惊叹且无与伦比的成就。这部作品最初分为14卷出版，每卷都将实际的木材样本镶嵌在卡片纸上，其精美绝伦，为树木和木材的研究树立了标准。《木材全书》以精心制作的复刻版形式，再现了原版各卷中的所有样本页面；为此，塔森出版社获得了一套极为罕见的原版藏书，其品相完好，木材切片的损坏程度极小。

书中的树木按字母顺序排列，每种树木都包含三种不同的木材横截面切片（径向、横向和切向），展示了不同木材种类的独特纹理特征，以及丰富的色彩和质感。

这个特别版中还收录了查尔斯·斯普拉格·萨金特绘制的大多数树木的叶子和果实的石版画，以及解释每种树木地理起源和物理特征的文字说明。

Culled and assembled by Romeyn Beck Hough between 1888 and 1913 in what still remains a stunning and unparalleled achievement, American Woods?originally published in 14 volumes, with actual specimens mounted on card stock?is a work of breathtaking beauty that has set the standard for the study of trees and wood.The Woodbook reproduces, in painstaking facsimile, all of the specimen pages from the original volumes; for this purpose, TASCHEN obtained an extremely rare original set of volumes in very good condition, with minimal damage to the wood cuts.

Arranged in alphabetical order, each tree is broken down into three different cross-section cuts of wood (radial, horizontal, and tangential), demonstrating the particular characteristics of the grain and the wealth of colors and textures to be found among the many different wood types.

Also included in this special edition are lithographs by Charles Sprague Sargent of the leaves and nuts of most trees, as well as texts explaining each tree?s geographical origins and physical characteristics.
