Sinopsis
The Tulip is not a gardening book. It is the story of a flower that has made men mad. Greed, desire, anguish and devotion have all played their part in the development of the tulip into the world-wide phenomenon it is today. No other flower has ever carried so much cultural baggage; it charts political upheavals, illuminates social behaviour, mirrors economic booms and busts, plots the ebb and flow of religious persecution. Pavord tells how the tulip arrived from Turkey and took the whole of Western Europe by storm. Sumptuously illustrated from a wide range of sources, this beautifully produced and irresistible volume will become a bible, a unique source book, a universal gift book and a joy to all who possess it.

I carry a general stock of approx 70000 titles of which only a small percentage is online. Viewing at my Ashmore bookrooms is welcome by appointment. While not specializing I have a good selection of art, natural history, military and surfing in stock. I also have many other non-fiction subjects, as well as approx 10000 paperback fiction titles on hand.
