Re-backed in relatively modern black buckram with gilt stamping; original brown cloth boards with rubbing and staining but reinforced by black buckram corners. Some age toning to replaced front and rear endpapers and flyleaves. Toning/foxing prevalent throughout…along with some moisture staining; old ownership inscription in pencil on first original flyleaf; some edge-tears and nicks to leaves. Engraved title page present but usually these books also had a formal text title page - as the latter is not present it seems likely that it was excised when re-bound. Binding is firm.

Weekes on page 43 with guard sheet; "Isabella Grapes" [no artist] on page 79 with guard sheet; "Century Plant" by S. Weekes on page 115 with guard sheet; "Crown Imperial" by S.

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.
