Item #761
A very nicely preserved herbarium with 24 botanical specimens collected in Pipestone and Jackson, Minnesota in the spring (April and May) of 1906. Compiled in The Kenilworth Herbarium and Plant Analysis portfolio, made to be “adapted to any botany,” and published in 1899 by Atkinson & Mentzer of Chicago. The albums provided blank lines for the class, order, genus, species, common name, locality and date to be filled in by the budding naturalist, as well as pages for a more in-depth plant analysis. This collection includes all specimen information completed.....
Item #1252
The original and scarce 1999 edition of Issue Six of the amazing Crap Hound magazine by the brilliant designer Sean Tejaratchi. This issue's focus is images of death, telephones and scissors. Crap Hound was a monumental feat of compilation. Also includes typography sample pages for Astro, Regicide, Lumberboy and Huffman. And the fake television listings at the back are very funny.
Condition: Fine, like new with very slight foxing to the back cover.
