Author: DODD, VICTOR
Title: Beemasters of the Past
Description: Mytholmroyd, Hebden Bridge, Northern Bee Books. 1983, First & Only Edition. (ISBN: 0907908098). Ill.: Jenny Brown. 150mm x 210mm tall. Pp x, 110 with b/w frontispiece and text illustrations. Very good, in the original brown, yellow & white soft-card covers with illustrations of a bee and a Victorian gentleman in a hat with bee-veil. The aim of the book is not so much to trace the development of men's knowledge of bees and beekeeping, but more to highlight some of those who have concerned themselves in this field, comparatively little having been written heretofore about the people who have devoted their time to the study of bees and the development of the craft. Very Good.
