This 2-volume set includes two classic books in the field of pomology. The first book, 'Essentials of Systemic Pomology' by Brooks D. Drain, was published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. in 1925. The second one, 'Disease of Fruit Crops' by Harry Warren Anderson, was released by McGraw-Hill Book Company, Inc. in 1956. Both books have unstated editions. The books are in acceptable condition. The cover of 'Pomology' shows moderate rubbing and soiling, and there is foxing along the text blocks of both books. There is writing along the text block of 'Fruit Crops' and heavy soiling along the text block of 'Pomology'. The books are slightly bowed, and there is writing on the front free endpapers and pastedowns from former owners. There is minor soiling to the pages, but readability is unaffected, and the bindings are secure.
These books are great resources for those interested in pomology and fruit crop diseases. To use them, simply open the pages and start reading. When handling the books, be gentle as they are old and may be a bit fragile. To maintain them, keep them in a dry and cool place away from direct sunlight. Avoid getting them wet or dirty. If you notice any loose pages or damage, it's best to have them repaired by a professional bookbinder. Also, when turning the pages, do it slowly to prevent tearing.
