This incredible hardback book (and the others from this same series…also currently running) absolutely must be seen! ~~~ titled "CHEMISTRY, BACTERIOLOGY, INSECT CONTROL” / By W.A. HARDENBERGH / {282c} / Published by INTERNATIONAL TEXTBOOK COMPANY / Copyright 1941 ~~//~~ This clearly written and Fully illustrated book is in mint condition. Never even fully opened. Pages are pristine! Tightly intact inside of midnight blue embossed, thin leather covers, (with cobalt/gold on teal marbled endpapers). 53 + sharply drawn line cuts, fold-outs and engraving-type figures FILL this text!
