The Lorette System of Pruning

Sturdy cloth-bound hardcover book WITHOUT a dustjacket. First Rodale Press edition, 1946, with 239 pages. Illustrated edition, with numerous drawings, many photographs, and a number of full-page photo plates. Heavy-duty cloth binding, pages of coated, glossy paper. The book would be As New but for the following: slight wear to the cloth at the spine ends and right on the corner tips, faint age-toning to the pages, and a previous owner's name and hometown written on the blank inside front cover page. The great balance of the cloth binding shows no wear, and is almost as crisp and fresh as new. The book is quite clean and stain-free, square and straight, very firm and tight in its binding, no pages are loose, torn, folded, creased, or missing. The hinges are sound and undamaged, the corners are unbumped. All pages are clean and stain free, and all text and illustrations are sharp and legible. Aside from the previous owner's notation, there is no writing, underlining, highlighting, or other such markings anywhere in the book.
