Bronder Offset Rotterdam, 1967. Original paper covers. Good /No Jacket. Cairo-born Fatima Sa'ad has produced here a 'proefschrift' for her degree of Doctor of Natural Science at the University of Utrecht, supervised by Professor J. Lanjouw. A monograph of south-west Asian Convolvulus, it has been reproduced from a typescript (an IBM electric font, it would appear) and illustrated with some very fine art-work by the author. It contains some very useful critical comments and the general part which introduces the volume includes some interesting snippets, such as the fact that the ground-up roots of Macaronesian endemic Convolvuli are the source of a fragrant powder known as "bois de rose". Some slight creasing to the corners of the front cover, but overall in good condition. 288 pp.

Should be read in conjunction with "John Raven by his friends" (privately published, 1981). Includes two newspaper reviews of the book, loosely inserted.
