About This Item
This is a beautiful copy of this book. The book is clean and tight. It is illustrated with many pictures in black and white. The jacket shows light shelfware. The colors on the jacket are vibrat and show a picture of a beach.
"Dr. Fairchild presents his story in direct and simple style, with natural humor untouched by literary artifice. Much more than botanizing goes into his book. A son in law of Alexander Graham Bell, he was in touch with interesting early developments in the field of invention, particulary aviation. As an expert cameraman, he has amassed an amazing store of photographs, and his book has more than 200 exceptional illustrations covering the entire garden of the world."
