About This Antiquarian Book

This marvelous LONG OUT OF PRINT Antiquarian auction catalogue lists and describes 123 Lots of highly selectvely collected Antiquarian Books on Natural History, most from the estate of Anita Peek Gilger, M. D. !! Illustrated Subjects / Authors include -- rare / medicinal (herbals) / regional / succulent plants, fruits, flowers, Africa, Canada, Jamaica, Brazil, the Madeira Islands, Middle East, garden design, insects, birds, North American Indians / Bradley, Candolle, Colonna, Commelin, Ferrari, Merian, Audubon, Catesby, Catlin, Gould, among OTHERS! WOWSERS! Books have been my best friends since my pre - teen years -- perhaps you noticed what MOST of my online auction items are? You should see the scores of shelves full of books I have, not to mention the innumerable boxes of them stashed virtually all over the place, here in New Jersey and in the Canary Islands (Spain). A friend recently asked me, "Aren't you afraid the floors will collapse?" [more about my book searching / finding may be seen in ] Reading books and international travel give one insights into life and its meaning, although the former are a LOT less expensive (usually) than world travel -- I've done BOTH, studying / teaching science in the USA, Germany, Spain, Iceland, Israel, Morocco and elsewhere, all on grants / scholarships -- I was never simply a tourist. My entire Weltanschaung is somewhat different from that of most folks who only know their own culture and mileau. I try to share these experiences via my online offerings. This fine volume on Antiquarian tomes will give you some insight into the world of rare natural history books. If you already are a bibliophile / student / book dealer / scientific researcher and started your own personal interactive computer database of these rare editions, I am sure that you will find many new items to add to it, in both photographs and textual information. One can sometimes still find some of these treasures, whether complete books or plates removed from them, at yard / garage sales, country / estate auctions, and, of course local flea markets. This tome may help you identify some of your finds as well as give you an idea of their potential value. Lavishly illustrated ! Antiquarian Book in EXCELLENT+ Condition!! Return to Books List
