Bananas by Dr. R. H. Stover and N. W. Simmonds.  Tropical Agriculture Series, 3rd Edition.  Published in 1987.

468 pages, profusely illustrated and indexed throughout.

I reported directly to Dr. Harry Stover during my time (1979 - 1984) as a research plant pathologist with the United Fruit Company, based in La Lima, Honduras, Central America.  

This book is signed by the author, Dr. Stover, and was personally addressed to me, in March 1989.  See photos.

Except for a slight tear in the dust jacket near the top of the spine, the book is in near-mint condition.
