Find a Book

[Stanley A. Gorodenski]

I just came from the bookstore where I got the below books.  All they
have left in the 50th Anniversary Editions is 'Eastern Butterflies' by
Klots and 'Western Butterflies' by Tilden & Smith.  Interestingly, they
have 'The Insect Book' by Howard, but $65 is a bit much to upgrade
(theirs is in better condition) my own copy that I paid $6 for in 1960.
