I'd have to recommend anything, actually everything written by Dr. Alex L. Shigo.
Also, The Tree Worker's Manual by Sharon Lilly.
Plant Health Care for Woody Ornamentals by John Lloyd.
Arboriculture by Richard W. Harris.
Don Blair has also written a good book about Tree Equipment with lots of good stories included. Its in a box in my garage somewhere. I think its just called Tree Equipment or something like that.
Good luck in your studies. If you ever move to the Tampa, FL area, look me up. I'm constantly looking for good employees.
