SHIPPING OFFERED
'Growing Carnivorous Plants' by Barry A Rice in very good condition despite being an ex-Library book. It's a First Edition hardback as per photo 3 [left hand side, can be enlarged to make easier to read].
The blurb:-
. A comprehensive guide to identifying and growing carnivorous plants, including instructions on how to create pot habitats or bog gardens
. A directory giving details of over 600 species, hybrids and cultivars of carnivorous plants
. Information on the natural history of carnivorous plants; how they could have evolved, how they interact with insects and other animals, and how the reader can view them in the wild
. An encyclopedic look at our 200-year-old fascination with carnivorous plants, from our initial disbelief to the most recent finds
Contents pages are shown in photo 3 & 4 [can be enlarged to make easier to read].
224 pages. Published by Timber Press Inc [A Quintet Book] in 2006 [1st Edition]. ISBN 978-0-88192-807-5. [Approx 29 x 22.5 x 2.3cms & 1230g]
This beautifully illustrated hardback is in very good condition with pages clean and tightly bound. There are a few marks to the last [blank] page, opposite the last page of the index. Exterior shows minor signs of use/storage as per photos 1 & 2 [please excuse the reflections/shadows from my tripod] including a bit of a bump to the top edge of the hardcover [in towards the spine] and to a lesser degree at the bottom - both have left a tiny split in the clear plastic cover. It is an ex-Library book so has the usual stickers to the front cover, spine, and first and last [blank] pages [both green to match the cover lining opposite], and stamps to the bottom of the title page, last page of the index, and to the edge of the closed pages. To compensate, it has been professionally covered in clear plastic.
Also have other gardening books listed separately at present including 'Carnivorous Plants' by Adrian Slack.
Please note:-
- Inspections welcome.
- Best to phone [three&two zero&nine seven&one eight&two] if you are keen to collect. I don't use a mobile and often only get to check messages late in the evening, so please check your email for replies [they sometimes end up in your Spam folder].
- No Paypal [sorry]
