Item description from seller

Large octavo. xxii + 565 p., 50 full-page photomechanical plates (49 in color, 1 a halftone), 440 text-figures (some are halftones). The author was Imperial Entomologist to the Government of India, and prior to that Government Entomologist for the state of Madras (now Tamil Nadu). Jam-packed with detailed information on life histories, economic impact, and distribution for a part of the world where this kind of information is still hard to come by. The color plates illustrate the complete life history and the hostplant. Introductory chapters cover classification, biology, and control of crop pests (many of which are the most commonly encountered insects in India), followed by chapters on pests by order, concluding with chapters on beneficial insects and insects of medical importance. Includes lists of crops and their insect pests, and other hostplants. [Heavy item, requires extra postage.] Very Good condition. Corners bumped, covers lightly rubbed, back cover with a few small white spots, back hinge cracked but holding, free front endpaper separated from title page but hinge still sound. Internally pristine and unmarked except for a few lightly penciled marginal marks in early pages; narrow half inch hole in caption page for plate 46 (not affecting text). Booksellers' marks, owners' names, and provenance in pencil and ink on front end papers. Unbelievably sound and remarkably preserved for a book this heavy, this old, and from such a humid climate. Publisher's original green cloth, title on spine and elaborate title on front stamped in white, front bordered with stamped black line, back with blind-stamped border.

Description de la boutique

Entomological Reprint Specialists (or ERS) was founded as a publisher and mailorder bookselling business in 1968. We started by reprinting out-of-print titles that still had a high demand because of their current utility. Soon, however, we diversified by becoming (at one time) the world's largest mailorder seller offering only books on insects and related arthropods. We continue to be one of the largest distributors for the Moths of North America series, but other sales are now limited to stock on hand and used or antiquarian items that come into our possession.

Spécialité

primarily insects and related arthropods; miscellaneous used and antiquarian titles
