Worn at the corners and spine extremeties, with bending and discoloration. General shelfwear to the board edges, and some darkening to the brown cloth from age and use. Soiling and scuffing to the text block edges. Hinges are solid and the binding is strong. Previous owner's bookplate to the front pastedown appears to be the only marking in the volume.The pages themselves are clean and bright with magazine style thickness. A mix of colorized and black and white illustrations and photos throughout. 796 pp., including a robust bibliography and index. This volume chronicles everything from the agriculture and propagation side of the industry, to the commerce and trade that introduced coffee to Europe, England, and North America. Difficult to find - and this copy is more attractive than most.
