phyto- and myco-taxonomic books

Wed Oct 7 07:07:55 CDT 1998

If perchance you find borrowing older taxonomic literature
via Interlibrary Loan insufficient, and would prefer purchasing
such books outright, please let me know. Perhaps I can find
what you are looking for. Maybe not, but maybe. Right at
the moment, I know where I can get the following. Prices
do not include shipping or international currency exchange
charges.
