May well become a price war

 

Looks like an interesting book

 

I guess from the age it is well out of copyright protection so could be scanned/photographed and cleaned up digitally then put into PDF format if enough free time was found to do it

For those contemplating a price war, this may be of interest:

 

schlich forestry - AbeBooks

 

I would also recommend The Practice of Forestry by Trentham (1909) or for a truly historical perspective, Sylva, or a Discourse of Forest-Trees, and the Propagation of Timber in His Majesties Dominions (1664 and onwards in many editions) is genuinely a fascinating read.
