Beccari's Monograph of Durian - Anybody have it?
« on: April 24, 2013, 01:18:11 AM »
I'm looking for Volume 3 of Odoardo Beccari's "Malaysia, collections and observations" (Malesia, raccolta d'osservazioni lese e papuano). Supposedly he wrote the first monograph of durian.

Anybody have a copy or know where I can get one? Thanks.

I now have this. It's in Latin, but I'm happy to share. Google translate helps a little.

Yeah I've got a PDF. Send me your email and I'll try to learn how to compress the file. Anybody want to help me on this?

Hi,

You won't be able to compress a PDF much, if at all. What size is it? I can pull it onto my fileshare site and then give Kay access to download it.
