One of the most sumptuous botanical libraries, amassed by Arpad Plesch, came up for sale on 16 and 17 June 1975 at a time of rip-roaring inflation in the UK economy; unsurprisingly, the books fetched record prices. This well-illustrated catalogue has become a collector's item. Unlike some copies, this set does not include the loosely inserted list of prices realised and names of purchasers.
