Monroe Vintage hardcover college-level biology and ecology textbook titled Living Systems: Principles and Relationships by James M. Ford and James E.

The copyright page identifies this copy as © 1971, printed in the United States, with Standard Book Number 06-382700-X. The book is an educational life-science text focused on living organisms as interconnected biological systems.

It is an older academic science textbook and may also appeal to collectors of vintage biology, ecology, or educational books. Fair to good vintage used condition. The binding is intact and the book remains usable, but there is noticeable age and handling wear. The white cloth-covered edges and spine show discoloration, soiling, spotting, and rubbing. Corners and spine ends have wear, including some fraying and small areas of exposed material. Page edges show age-related toning and discoloration. Interior pages appear generally clean and intact. There are former institutional ownership markings and an old library property pocket remains attached inside the front cover. There is also a handwritten former owner's name and notation on the endpaper.
