Previously owned by Lincoln Brower; his name is written on front free endpaper, dated "October 19, 1949." "On EN" is written on spine, referring to ENDNOTE, the bibliographical program Brower used to organize his books. We've got a wonderful bookcase or two of books from Lincoln Brower's collection listed here. Everything you know about Monarch Butterflies, you know because of Brower's work, both scientific and outreach. He was a great teacher, an important researcher, a torch-bearing conservationist, and a leading light in lepidoptery. We are extremely excited to offer his books. Please email with questions or to request photos. Note: if there is a photo beside this listing, it's a STOCK photo that ABE put there (for reasons that we cannot understand or control) and might not match this actual book. This is an oversized book, so extra shipping will be necessary for priority or international shipping.
