Publisher's hardcover binding with pictorial dust jacket. Housed in the original publisher's slipcase of which only 400 were issued.
352pp. Illustrations in profusion.
Book has been signed & dated by the author on the title page and has a pen illustration of E. ghellinckii in the Drakensberg on the verso of the front end-paper, also signed & dated by the author.
This is the standard reference for all cycad collectors.
The book represents the first edition in this format where photos, rather than illustrations (as in the original 1989 edition), were used to illustrate all the known African Cycads in their natural habitat. The original text was also revised and newly discovered species were included. This is Volume I of what was planned to be a series of books relating to cycads, but unfortunately due to differences between publisher and author the project never went further.
One of only 400 copies that were issued with a slipcase. Book is in mint condition.
