viii 296 pages, indexed. The book has been covered in contactand has an ownership signature on the front end paper.It is also not square. I'm assuming that through careless shelving the front cover and spine have been pushed to the side, though this does not affect the binding which remains solid. A clean and unmarked copy. 'Studies in Plant Survival: Ecological Case Histories of Plant Adaptation to Adversity' is Volume 11 in Blackwell's Studies in Ecology. Overseas customers please note the book is heavy and will atrrcat additional postage.
