Very dark green with silver gilt lettering to spine. Book is tight, square, sharp-cornered and in all ways Fine. Unclipped pictorial full color Dust Jacket is also Fine. Basically unread copy. From the publisher: Plants that trap and eat animals: an amazing phenomenon that has inspired awe since before the days of Darwin. Lured into the danger zone by optical, tactile and olfactory strategies, the prey succumb to ingenious traps and face their doom. This exquisite book, copiously illustrated with closeup photography, provides detailed descriptions - including trapping mechanisms, digestion, and prey - and cultivation information for key species in 17 genera and 10 families. Most notably, it includes the first comprehensive listing of some 630 known carnivorous plant species, described in fascinating detail, with identification history and geographic distribution species by species.
