Perseus Books Group / Da Capo Press, 1995. Paperback. Near Fine. This De Capo Press paperback edition of Hannibal is an unabridged republication of the edition first published in Boston in 1891. "It was an excellent idea to reintroduce Americans to this 104-year-old book, which has never been bettered. It is called Hannibal and says a lot about him, but it is also a story of Roman-Carthaginian relations from the beginning--a valuable enterprise, since the losing side hardly ever gets a fair deal from writers. As for Hannibal himself, Theodore Ayrault Dodge tackles the extraordinary fact that in spite of the shattering victories of this marvelous general in the Second Punic War, he never succeeded in conquering Rome. Read this book and it is possible to see why." -- Michael Grant. Book is near fine, with little edge wear, but careless handling has created a curve to the book. There is a small faint stain to leading page block. The book doesn't… Read More

New York: Clarkson Potter, 1994. Stated First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/very good. Druse (The Natural Shade Garden) and Roach, the gardening editor for Newsday , survey gardens all over the United States that focus on native plants; together, they "traveled around the country, seeking instruction not just from nature's aesthetic side, but from the actual workings of the nation's dwindling reserve of wild places."

By contrast, a visit to the Bloedel Reserve on Bainbridge Island, Wash., reveals "grandeur in decay"--the abandon of spreading moss on emergent tree roots, and deer fern bulging up from shady spots. The authors also scope out desert gardens in… Read More
