I found the 1975 reprint of Dykes "The Genus Iris" at a bargain book
store last year. Although it is unabridged, it is printed 20% smaller
than the original 1913 edition. It retailed for $35.00 US and I paid $20
for it. It's a great addition to any gardener's library. If you happen
to have a book "warehouse" close by, it my be worth checking out.
