Viruses in Plant Hosts






Viruses in Plant Hosts:
Form, Distribution, and Pathological Effects
by Katherine Esau

The person who gave me this gift saw that it was more than just
a plant biology book published in 1968.
It contains over 50 full pages of superb electron micrographs.
Aesthetically, it is actually really fun to look at. You can get lost looking at the micro detail,
various line quality, density, interesting compositions,
and organic shapes.
They are very much like drawings.

the book cover design is very nice too. at first I thought this was an artist's book of drawings, which also would be a great concept.
