The older guides belonged to my father when he was a boy. He became a scientist working for NIEHS. My brother and I enjoyed those guides as well as adding a few of our own to the collection. I had an affinity to the insects and mammals ones myself. They're well loved and ready for a new home.

Conditions range from Good to Acceptable. All guides are intact. They are missing the protective plastic film originally found on the covers. Many have previous owner's information to the inside cover or page block or title page. Stars is in the worst condition with a partially torn spine and cover partially detached.
