McKenny, Margaret. New York: The John Day Company, 1929.
English, Very Good, HC, 12mo, 7 1/2" x 5 1/8", 193 pp.
Hardcover in green cloth, no dust jacket. Slight cocking to spine, small tear to tail, minor wear, some toning, light soiling, and pen inscription to front endpaper. 193 pp. Includes black-and-white photographs. From the Acknowledgement: "[This book] deals with the larger, more conspicuous forms of mushrooms, and seeks to give an idea of the fascination of their varied shapes and tints, rather than to approach them from the standpoint of edibility, although the poisonous forms are fully described and pictured." Beautifully produced guide appealing to anyone looking into this branch of botany, overall a handsome copy.
