Cycads by Loran M. Whitelock is the definitive hardcover reference for these ancient, palm-like ornamentals. Timber Press’s 2002 edition spans 532 oversized pages, heavily illustrated to guide gardeners, landscapers, and botany enthusiasts through identification, care, and conservation.

This ex-library-free copy arrives with its original dust jacket and tight, unmarked binding from a smoke-free home. Light foxing on the inner covers and minor water marks to the outer edges of pages 175 onward do not stick or intrude on text; every page turns freely and remains crisp.

Ideal for serious collectors needing a single authoritative volume on cycad culture, the book’s generous 11.3-inch format showcases detailed photos and line drawings that make species comparison effortless. Young adults and professionals alike will appreciate the depth without sacrificing accessibility.

Own a sturdy, readable first printing of Whitelock’s classic—perfect for the shelf, greenhouse, or gift pile—at a used-book price that respects both budget and planet.
