  • Used
  • poor
  • Hardcover
This is a lovely book that is in poor condition. The covers are worn with the corners worn through, as shown. 155 pages with gilt edges, but some pages are loose, especially some of the tissue covering the full color plates. The plates are wonderfully detailed botanical illustrations, with some transfer onto tissue covering. Pages are embrittled, browned, and chipped at edges. Worst of all, two plates are missing, presumably removed: the Bidens and the Kalmia Glauca. That leaves 12 of these great illustrations to enjoy. I will price this accordingly.
