About This Item
Ithaca, NY: Comstock Publishing Co, 1911. First Edition. Hardcover. Good +. Thick octavo, 938pp., illustrated. A good or better copy in original green cloth which is wearing along the front gutter but expertly strengthened internally and with new end papers. Just starting to fray at the crown. SIGNED and INSCRIBED by Comstock to W A Stocking. In print since 1911 it still is the standard publication in the field. She both wrote and illustrated several books including illustrating her husband's. She is famous for bringing her students and other teachers outdoors to study nature. W A Stocking was an author and scholar authoring books on the science of dairy production. He was the longest continuously serving president of the American Dairy Science Association from 1916-1918. He guided the association through years of decision in an America in unrest. Scarce thus. .

About Cleveland Book Company
We are proud members of the ABAA.
As a small, independent bookseller in Cleveland, Ohio, I deal in general used, rare, and antiquarian books, autographs, manuscripts, pamphlets, and personal and family papers in all subjects. My family has been in the antiquarian book business since 1971. Are you moving, downsizing, or doing some spring cleaning? Did you inherit or otherwise come into some old books? Or, maybe you've collected modern novels from the last thirty or fifty years. No matter what kinds of books you have, we'd love to take a look at them! We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books. Give us a call at (216) 352-3940 and we can talk more about the kinds of books you have.
