This set includes three first - printing books by Georg Borgstrom. 'Too Many: A Study of Earth's Biological Limitations' (1969), 'The Hungry Planet: The Modern World at the Edge of Famine' (1965), and 'Focal Points: A Global Food Strategy' (1973), all published by Macmillan - related companies. The books are in good condition with tight bindings and legible pages. All of them are signed by the author with dedications. However, the dust covers have some damage like sunning, soiling, and creasing. The covers also show varying degrees of wear, and the text blocks are discolored due to age. 'Hungry Planet' has closed and open tears, 'Focal Points' has foxing and is bowed, while 'Too Many' and 'Hungry Planet' are cocked. 'Too Many' has deckled pages, and the colored tops of 'Too Many' and 'Hungry Planet' have faded over time.
These books are great for collectors or those interested in food and population studies. To handle them, always wash your hands before opening to avoid adding more soiling. When reading, use a bookmark instead of folding pages to keep them intact. Store the books in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent further discoloration and damage to the covers. If the dust covers have loose parts, you can use some gentle glue to fix them. Remember, these books are old and delicate, so handle them with care.
