A lot of new developments in the plant propagation has taken place after 
1968.  So this book is obsolete and that is why they are selling it for 4 
dollars in a country like USA where books are so expensive.

However, this is a classic and the best book ever published in the field of 
propagation.  I have been using it as a student as well as a university 
teacher during my working career.  There is no doubt about its utility.

But I shall still advise that if you want to buy it, buy the most current 
edition.
