135pp incl numerous b&w photos and line drawings. Textured maroon boards with gold lettering to the front panel. Two attractive copperplate prev owner names to verso of first page. Boards are rubbed and scuffed, with edge & corner wear and a 2cm split mid-spine on the front cover. The book internals are good, though show tanning, foxing, and soiling. Several pages have creasing to the corners. Still quite an attractive copy of a scarce early 20th century Western Australian reference title.

During the past ten years I have not only carefully watched the results and improved on them, but have taken photos. Showing the trees at different stages, and my plates now number some hundreds. Having gained my experience in different districts and parts of both New South Wales and Victoria it has taught me how necessary it is for the orchardist to always study local conditions, and in many ways I have had to change my system or modify it on moving into a new district where the climatic and soil conditions were totally different.".…

Shipping terms

Only if your selected book weighs more than 3kg, or is oversized, might we contact you to let you know extra shipping is required. PERTH METRO CUSTOMERS CAN ARRANGE PICK-UP AND THEREBY AVOID SHIPPING CHARGES ALTOGETHER (please e-mail taipan.books@gmail.com or phone 08 9271 4048 to arrange). ***INTERNATIONAL*** All international orders are despatched by air-mail, and the quoted shipping rates are based on books weighing 1.1lb, or 0.5kg. This generally covers small/medium paperbacks and small hard-cover books.

It's always worth asking for a quote in any case, as books under 250g may travel for a reduced rate.
