One day, while in Winston Salem, NC, we've decided to pay visit to a local Goodwill store. I begun browsing through books' section, and came across a book titled The Vegetable Garden by M.M. Vilmorin-Andrieux first published in France in the XIXc., and I believe this 1981 American publication is the only one.
The book is not just extremely informative, but also beautiful with detailed illustrations of specimens included. Some of these could (sadly) be considered extinct.
I picked it because I loved it, for just $1.00!
The same book on Amazon, was selling between $49.84 - $98.71.
Right person at the right place at the right time; trip well done!
