IN PURSUIT OF PLANTS BY PHILIP SHORT
This would be a great gift for a botanist, plant lover, gardener, or in fact anyone with an interest in the plant collectors of the 19th & early 20th century. A really good book to have by your bed or on a coffee table and dip in and out as the mood takes you.
The book is a mixture of scientific exploration, travel, biographical details of the collectors, and some excerpts from each person's first-hand journals and letters. There are some beautiful botanical illustrations and modern photographs as well.
The book is in pristine condition, as is the dust jacket, and at only NZ$14.00 you couldn't get a better deal. You can order it now on the website or pop in to the Dunedin shop
