eBotanical Prints – January 2020
/There were only 7 botanical print books in January because I shifted focus to volumes about shells last month. I finished up the ‘Illustrated dictionary of gardening’ volumes…enjoyed the drawings in a botany textbook by Asa Gray…marveled at how different woods look at the micro level. The last two books (Familiar Trees) are from a series that I found back in 2015…but somehow I only looked at one of the three volumes then.
The volumes are all freely available on the Internet. The whole list of more than 1800 books can be accessed here. Sample images and links for the 7 new ones are provided below. (click on the sample image to see a larger view) Enjoy!
