Diseases of Trees and Shrubs by Wayne A. Sinclair, Howard H. Lyon and Warren T. Johnson. Published by Comstock Publishing Associates, a division of Cornell University Press, Ithaca and London, 1987.
A landmark pictorial reference for anyone who works with trees, shrubs and ornamental plants. Written by Cornell specialists, it is organised by the part of the plant affected and by the causal agent, making it a handy diagnostic tool for foresters, arborists, nurserymen, gardeners and plant pathologists alike. With more than 1,700 illustrations across 247 colour plates, each facing an explanatory page, it covers some 350 biological and environmental agents affecting over 250 species.
A handsome hardback complete with its original dust jacket, featuring a striking forest scene. The text is clean and unmarked throughout and the binding is firm.
Book: Very Good - Firm, tight binding with clean pages and bright boards. Minor shelf wear to the boards.
Dust jacket: Good - Present and original, with bright cover art. Some wear to the edges and minor marks to the rear panel.
A pre-owned book; any wear beyond that described is minor and in keeping with its age.
A fine reference for the plant lover's shelf, ready for its next reader.
