The Book of Plant Life (The Book of Knowledge Little Reference Series)
Rand McNally 1940 Hardcover Good
63 pages, including index. Avadado green and olive green with white and black lettering and a black and white photo of what looks like Petunias on the front cover. Covers are seriously rubbed, edges are worn, and corners are bumped, however interior of book is excellent. This may be a first thus edition, as there is no additional printing information other than the 1940 copyright, but I could not say for sure. At the time this volume was published, there were a total of nine books in the Little Reference Series (per the "To All Boys and Girls" advertisement on the last page). The front cover states that "the material in this book is from the regular twenty-volume edition of The Book of Knowledge." Lots of detailed black and white drawings.; 24mo - over 5" - 5¾" tall
