The Butterfly Book
W. J. Holland
A single volume promised to help name every butterfly in North America, and it largely delivered. W. J. Holland walks through their life history and anatomy, then the species themselves, in the richly illustrated guide that launched countless collections. A true landmark of popular natural history. Open the book that taught America to know its butterflies.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
