I thought someone might be interested in a copy of Citrus Industry, Vol 1 currently on Ebay at $20 + postage.
This is the best book ever published on the botany of citrus and relatives, and includes descriptions of most varieties. Although available on-line, a real book is so much better. I've seen it sold at much higher prices.
Mike.
PS. It's not me selling this item - I just happened to notice it on Ebay! |

This person evidently does not know the value of the book. Four or five years ago I purchased Volume 1 and II for $120.00. - Millet |

I have all of these but have never thought of selling them but at my age may put them on e-bay in the future. |

Bonnie, the way I've always looked at selling something of value is this--An item of value is sold for money, you give them the item of value. The money is soon spent, usually on items of little or no value, leaving you with nothing and they have the item of value. - Millet |

I would be interested in adding The Citrus Industry Volume 1 (and possibly Vol 2) to my library. My preference is to have the original 1943 publication (1st printing). |

Keith, I purchased the original 1943 publication of The Citrus Industry from Abe's Books (www.abesbooks.com), and volumes III and IV from the Florida Science Source, Inc. At the present time Abe's Books has both volumes I and II for sale. Go to their web site and fill in the search box. The authors are Webber and Batchelor. - Millet |

Thanks Millet! I saw that too.
I was proud of my Satsuma crop this year. Let's see if I can post a photo.
