Q:
Looking for opinions/input from older Plant Taxonomy nerds - I have the 4 volumes of Abrams "Illustrated Flora of the Pacific States" covering Washington, Oregon, and California, Vol I was first printed in 1923, reprinted in 1940, Vol II in 1944, Vol III in 1954, Vol IV 1960, printed by Stanford University Press, all written by Leroy Abrams, except Vol IV, which was written by Abrams and Roxana Stinchfield Ferris I assume because Mr. Abrams may have passed away? In any case, the botanic illustrations of the books is incredible. The taxonomic portions are completely out dated, based as they were primarily on the various morphological characteristics of the various plant families used in the 1920,s to the 1960's or so. None the less - the illustrations are large, clear and (I presume), accurate. Is there a graduate student out there looking for a project that would be willing to digitally cut up the books and provide updated taxonomy? It seems a shame that the incredible illustrations be closed up in volumes that no one opens because the taxonomy is so out-dated. Anyone know the status of copyrights on these books? Opinions?

Michael Leo Duval I bet you would find grad students at RSABG in Claremont willing to take this on.. They already have an extensive library with rare books behind a locked cage!
