What Our Customers Say...

Description

Colour Plates, First Edition, Illustrated, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

The first edition, first impression. 

With the publisher's original unclipped dust wrapper and original cloth binding.

An extraordinary book that offers a passionate exploration into the significance of the tulip across centuries of world history.

Tracing its movements through Asia, India, Russia and the Ottoman Empire, the author tells how the tulip arrived from Turkey and took the whole of Western Europe by storm. 

Richly illustrated throughout in colour and monochrome. 

From Anna Pavord, a British horticultural writer who wrote for the Observer for over twenty years and The Independent for over thirty.

Condition

In the original cloth binding. With the original unclipped dust wrapper. Externally, excellent, with minor bumping to the extremities. Dust wrapper is very smart, with slight edge wear and a few small marks to the wrap. Internally, firmly bound with bright and clean pages.
