My suggestions would be ;
The Collins Field Guide- Trees of Britain & Northern Europe ISBN0002192136
The Wild Flower Key - British Isles & NW Europe ISBN0723224196
Try here www.Amazon.co.uk
Hope this helps but I have used these for years. Collins also do an excellent series of books on most subjects called 'Little Gems'Great value at about £10 and the fit in the pocket neatly.

Pocket sized books? Then it has to be Collins gem Trees. It really is pocket sized and has colour pictures of tree shape leaves fruit/nuts/seeds. In the Front there is a guide to tree ident in the winter. And a mini guide to identifing by the leaves/ and or bark.scottishwolf said:Can someone please reccomend a good book on tree and plant identification.

Another vote for collins gem, great little book. Picked mine up for 2 quid at my local second hand book store, they had 3 of them there on the shelf. 
Anybody got one for sale or swap? I'm not working at the moment so a second hand one would be more affordable
I'm afraid I can't offer you copies, but I have both Collins gem Trees ISBN 000718306-2 and The Complete Guide to Trees of Britain and Northern Europe by Alan Mitchell.
Like you cash is tight but I got these from the second hand books selection on Amazon. I think with postage I paid under a tenner. Which s a lot still I now, but if bought new they would have been over £15.00. However, it can mean waiting a few weeks for a copy to come up at the right price! Perhaps try and see if you can find any ebooks.
They are usually older books that have gone out of print, these can be downloaded for free, just a thought.
