Wood, Robert Williams.

How To Tell the Birds From the Flowers.

San Francisco: Paul Elder and Company, 1907.

First edition.

8vo. Hardcover. 28pp.

Very good. Boards are solid with fading to cover, bumped corners, and two chipped pieces missing from spine, one of which was repaired with tape by a previous owner. Textblock is solid and hinges intact. Pages are age toned but otherwise clean and bright. A very nice copy of this relatively scarce first edition of fun poems and drawings by the influential optics physicist, and from a popular and collectible small press.
