What Our Customers Say...
Description

The first edition of this work.
In the publisher's original cloth binding.
A charming study of the flora of historic southern Scottish county, Dumfriesshire, written by botanist and academic author George Francis Scott Elliot.
Including introductory descriptions of the area's topography, flowering periods, insects and meteorology, before detailing the records, localities and habitats of many types of flora.

Condition
In the original cloth binding. Externally, very smart, with rubbing and bumping to the extremities. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and generally clean, with light spotting to the first and last couple leaves and a small scuff to the front free endpaper. Blind stamped 'Riverslea Kirkcudbright' to the half title page. With a few small closed tears to the folding map, and a slightly larger, but neat split running down one of the folds.
Very Good Indeed
