What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper
The first edition.
Complete in two volumes.
In the original price-clipped dust wrappers.
A chronicle of the history, present distribution, and migration of all the birds of Scotland, trailing around the beautiful country from the south-west up to Caithness.
The authors, Evelyn V. Baxter and Leonora Jeffrey Rintoul, look into the idea that the bird-life of Scotland fluctuates considerably, and more than any other European country.
Illustrated with a colour frontispiece to each volume, one colour folding map to the rear of Volume II, eleven monochrome plates to Volume I, and thirteen monochrome plates to Volume II.
Collated, complete.
Rintoul and Baxter were lifelong friends and co-authors of various ornithological works.
