1st thus. Book Condition: Fair.
Interesting provenance. 2 volumes bound as 4 half-volumes in green cloth with gilt spine titles. Some bumping and wear to boards and extremities. Hinges cracked; vols 2 and 3 holding firm, vol 4 a little less so, vol 1 more fragile. Internally fairly crisp, clean and bright, just with the occasional light mark and light spotting to tissue guards. Each FEP has the attractive bookplate of notable botanist John P. M. Brennan (1917–1985), who was director of the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew.
