What Our Customers Say...

Description

Colour Plates, First Edition, Illustrated, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding

First edition. Illustrated with ten colour plates, sixteen black-and-white photographs across eleven plates, and many in-text figures. Collated complete. A pleasing study on the Australian finch with chapters on each individual species, their habits, plumage, song, and habitats, as well as the differences in life in the bush and in aviaries. Written and illustrated by Neville William Cayley, an Australian writer, artist and ornithologist.

Condition

In the original green cloth binding. Externally, very smart with minor rubbing and slight bumping to the extremities. Minor fading to the spine with the odd small mark to the boards. Front hinge just starting but remains firm. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright with light scattered spotting and age toning to the endpapers.

Very Good
