The tomato in prose & prosody by G. K. Chesterton was a good choice to follow the herb garden book, but turns out to be a "bit of learned spoofing" on the pronunciaton of tomato - and quite delightful if sometimes over my head in literary references. It was privately printed by Wallace Nethery in 1986. So far the items from the bookcase have yielded almost all of the miniature books by Nethery listed in Bradbury, plus a good number printed by him for Dawson's Book Shop to be dealt with at a later date. There are three copies of the tomato item as pictured above. See the list in progress on WorldCat Thursday, November 3, 2011
