This is an old book, published in 1982. It introduces numerous wild plants with photos and explains how to cultivate them. Nowadays, taking plants from nature is a no-no, but I suppose that wasn't the general understanding back then. It's a book to enjoy looking at, now. The condition is somewhat problematic. As it's been around for many years, there's no denying the aging, such as the cover's discoloration and fine wrinkles. Also, both the front and back, on the blank pages when you open the cover, have stains. It's difficult to see in the photos, but please refer to them. Thank you very much.
