Out-of-Print Microbiology
Bernard Dixon · Microbe Magazine · 2012
Copies of Penicillin, Its Practical Application, edited by Sir Alexander Fleming and published by Butterworth in 1946, sell for surprisingly high prices at the upper end of the second-hand book trade. Yet those written by Selman Waksman, from Principles of Soil Microbiology (Bailliere, Tindall and Cox, 1927) to The Actinomycetes (Chronica Botanica, 1950), hold very little value nowadays.
