The Crow In Its Relation to Agriculture: Is It A Farm Pest? (1920)

Price: $6.95

Publisher: United States Department of Agriculture: 1920

Seller ID: 2514

Binding: soft cover

Condition: Very Good condition

Old farm bulletins are interesting even to an urbanite like me. In their day they were the gold standard, replete with the imprimatur of the Department of Agriculture. Some of the material has been overridden by modern technology of course, but there's still nuggets of gold that can be very useful. This is one of the good ones, the result of much studying of crows in various locations. Booklet has 20 clean, tightly bound pages and measures 6" x 9". Booklet is illustrated with black and white photos, a graph and a map.

Seller ID: 3918

Binding: Soft cover

Condition: Good to fair

Oh, how I wanted these! There were 20 altogether, but half of them were too awful to contemplate. The ones I bought are not going to be given tiaras for beauty, but at least they're only reasonably flawed. What makes them flawed are these things: partial spines required archival tape of five issues; a chewed lower edge of the front cover of one and to the lower right corner of another; a small bit of fairly light foxing and damp staining somewhere on each.
