Vintage 1970's Collection of Gardening Hardcover Books - 10 Available

This is a mis-matched collection of groovy vintage gardening books, including 7 hardcover volumes of The American Horticultural Society Illustrated Encyclopedia of Gardening. The information is still relevant, and it’s an invaluable resource for new and established gardeners. The photographs on the inside are stunning, super retro. Along with being obviously very useful, these look fantastic on a bookshelf. The rich colors and thick 70’s font are effortlessly cool, and the stackable rich evergreen wash easily makes the collection very versatile. I added in Annuals as well as the 2 volumes of A-Z, but if you would like to leave those 3 out of your purchase (or only buy those), there is an option to do so below!

Condition: Used - Good: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and functions properly. They’re from the 70’s mostly, so they have appropriate wear, but all additions are sturdy, not earmarked, and ready for use or display. Any visible texture on the cover in the photos is glare; there is no water damage.
