Following is a link to a copy for sale of Condit's book 'The Fig' written in 1947. It is a little pricy, since the book originally sold for $5.00 U.S.! But, available copies are increasingly rare. One copy of 'The Fig' from a bookseller in the Netherlands was listed at nearly $600.00! 'The Fig' is a very interesting although its primary purpose is not to describe fig varieties. It does have a good deal of historical information in regard to figs. If you want descriptions of many varieties of figs, then find Condit's 'Fig Varieties: A Monograph'. It is in Hilgardia, Volume 23, Number 11 (Hilgardia was a journal of agricultural science). There are not many illustrations in the Monograph, but the descriptions of all the varieties are extremely useful. I did not see a copy of the 'Monograph' for sale on the internet.

Many thanks.A few weeks ago I buyed "The Fig" at the adress you suggested. It is very interesting indeed. I am gratefull for answering to me.

I have a MSword version of Condit's Fig Varieties monograph
that I believe was interpreted from a scanned version of that
work. Send me an email at bostock@eos.ubc.ca if you would like
me to pass you on a copy.

Thank you for the link!
I had a copy in Word format, without illustrations.
This one is much better.

Thanks!

wonderful discovering,
many thanks from me too.

I just bought a first edition hard cover of Ira Condit's "The fig" on line.
The condition is described as VG
I probably paid too much $102.50 including shipping??
Assuming the books condition is as described I think it will grow in value as the interest in Figs grows.
I told my wife about the book and she says "well, there is your 40th birthday present". I get what I want and she is off the hook with a few words...(for now)
Bob Dolan Books had it and BookFinder.com found it.
There is an amazon listing too but I assume its for the same book as the seller is the same.

Here it is in a Word doc format:
