Let me first mention I am not a reader and have no knowledge of book terminology so if you have any questions please ask and I'll try my best to answer.

Offered is "The Book of Water Gardening" by Peter Bisset. A.T. De La Mare Printing and Publishing Co. Ltd. New York 1907 All Rights Reserved. The inside page says: Giving in full detail all the practical information necessary to the selection, grouping and successful cultivation of aquatic and other plants required in the making of a water garden and its surroundings and covering all conditions from that of the amateur with a few plants in the tubs to the large estate or park. Profusely illustrated with one hundred and twenty halftones seventeen diagrams and two double page plates.

The book is in fair condition with tears on the outsidecorner (see pic). I had a hard time taking a clear picture because of my flash but the covering on the book is worn but not as bad as my picture shows. The spine is loose making some of the pages loose. There are some age stains on the outer pages and the inside and back cover. I don't see any rips or tears. The top pages have gold on the top edge but this book is old and dustyand does need cleaning. Still a great addition to your aquatic reference book collection!!

I try to describe the items I list as best as I can. I am by no means an expert nor perfectso if I have overlooked something its not intentional. Some of my terminology isn’t the best so if you have any questions please ask. If for some reason there is a problem please contact me and we'll work it out. I take pride in my feedback!
