Yes. some years ago I borrowed a very beat-up copy of Holland's Butterfly
Guide through interlibrary loan. I have a xerographic copy in my files. It
is a primary source for common names that were learned by Boy Scouts while
completing their merit badge collections of butterflies. Although there
must have been a lot out there I think they were almost all used up! You
are lucky to find a copy in good condition.
Now does anyone remember the story of that scondrel Sinclair?
