Very good condition in a very good dustwrapper.
Abridged edition, edited by J.T. Bonner. A book about the way things grow, and the shapes they take. A great man of science, who was also a poet, and wise, tells of the shape of horns, of teeth, of tusks; of jumping fleas and slipper limpets; of buds and seeds, bees' cells and drops of rain; of the potter's thumb and the spider's web; of cylinders and unduloids; of a film of soap and a bubble bath; of the splash of a pebble in a pond. Green cloth boards, gilt title to spine. B/w illustrations. xiv and 345 pages including index. Base of spine lightly shelf-worn. Top edge of text block a little dusty. Light margin crease to page 165-174. Contents clean. Orange pictorial dustwrapper is a little grubby and lightly edge-worn.
