About This Item
Collins. New Naturalist 1961 1st edition. Size 6.0 x 8.75 inches. In green cloth covers with gilt to spine. With illustrated dustwrapper. In very good condition with very good dustwrapper (dw; Slightly rubbed along edges, a few small closed nicks neatly repaired on verso. Not price clipped). One small dent on spine. Else a clean and tight copy. 384pp. With colour frontispiece, b/w photographs, line drawings by author, diagrams, maps. The New Naturalist. Vol.43. The idea that because weeds are a nuisance they must also be dull is dispelled in a few pages. Not only does the author show that an understanding of these criminals of the plant world will make their control both easier and more interesting: he also imparts to the reader something of his own delight and wonder.
