This is a very rare hardcover edition of "Pruning Guide: For Trees, Shrubs, and Vines" by Tom Stevenson, and it holds special significance as it has been inscribed by the author himself. The inscription reads, "To Grace Wilson for better pruning. Tom Stevenson." This personalized touch adds a unique layer of history to the book.The hardcover edition features light olive green covers with white lettering along the spine. While the book is indeed a rare find, it is in Fair condition. The musty odor suggests some age-related storage conditions, but this does not detract from the book's rarity. The covers, though showing some foxing and discoloration, are in decent shape, and there's noticeable wear at the spine ends. Additionally, there's a bump about an inch from the front edge on the bottom edge of the book.The binding remains firm, but there is a slight shelf cocking, a common occurrence in older hardcover books. Inside, the pages are unmarked, but they retain the musty odor mentioned earlier.The book comes with its dust jacket, which is in Fair condition. The jacket displays several chips and edge tears, indicating its age and use. Notably, the upper corner of the rear insert of the jacket has completely separated but is included with the book for completeness.We take great care in packaging our books to ensure they arrive in the best possible condition. You will receive an USPS electronic tracking number at no additional cost, allowing you to monitor the progress of your shipment.If you have any questions or would like to see more pictures of the book, please feel free to contact us. This rare hardcover edition, inscribed by the author, is a unique find for collectors and enthusiasts of horticulture and pruning techniques.

Store Description

Alien Bindings is an online bookshop located in Baltimore that has been in operation for nearly 20 years. Alien Bindings caters to the sciences including the physical sciences, astronomy, mathematics, computer science, the social sciences and medicine. I also dabble in a wide array of other categories including antiquarian books and history. I run a clean, green business. I try to reuse clean materials for packaging whenever possible. For example, books are carefully packaged frequently using clean cardboard for custom made boxes, recycled paper is used for printed labels and recycled plastic or bubble wrap is used for a weather-proof barrier. I drop the packages off to my local post office via foot or cycle in order to further reduce the carbon footprint.
