Blue cloth with gilt lettering. Extremely mild rub to edges. Previous owner signature to front endpaper. Text is clean and white, no marks. Illustrated with whimsical drawings by Carrye E. Schenk. Clipped DJ shows tiny chips head and heel of spine, mild scuffing/soil. "This is the story of the strange ways of living things around us. Some birds, plants, and animals seem to rush headlong into each new season. Others linger as if reluctant to let go of the past. There is a reason why the great horned owl nests in the snow while the air snaps with January cold. And the orchid that defies the frost of October is not as tardy as it seems." (from the jacket).

As often as possible, I use recycled products to package the books.

Shipping costs are based on books weighing 2.2 LB, or 1 KG.
Oversized books, heavy books, and sets will often require additonal postage.
If you are ordering overseas, these extra charges may be enormous.
