Description:
London: Printed for the Proprietor, 1797-1808.. 16 Volumes. 8vo (actually a small 4to.), the volumes measure just under 5 x 8 inches. 19th century tree-calf, spines designed in gilt, lettered in gilt on panels of black. A few slightly cracked hinges and modest shelf wear, a very nice clean set. This is a uniform binding of two separate sets; the first set, of ten volumes, has the legend "Barr's Buffon" at the head of the title page. The second set, of six volumes, is issued anonymously. In all, 136 plates, most coloured by hand. Internally very fresh, almost no foxing to be seen. Typically, the plates are not in the exact order given in the individual volumes. In this case, the final (supplement) volume contains several plates which are listed in earlier volumes, but not present there. One plate from Volume 11 (a Parrot?) appears never to have been bound-in. In all a clean and attractive set of Buffon, quite handsome.

Description:
San Francisco: Graham Mackintosh, 1968. First Edition. First edition. Stiff cream wraps containing eight unopened seed packets with a short Brautigan poem on each side, planting instructions on the other. Very Good+ or better with slight toning and shelf wear to wraps, offsetting to fore edge from glued flaps (some copies of this book had glued flaps, others didn't; no known priority), some light staining to seed packets from contents. Nice shape overall. All packets present, unopened, containing their original seeds for planting in the 1968-1969 season. Four of the seed packets were flowers, the other four were vegetables. A rare and unique poetry book from the author of Trout Fishing in America, metaphorically connecting the flower generation to its successors, the back-to-the-land and environmental movements.
