1959 Pirates and Predators, The Piratical and Predatory Habits of Birds
What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Illustrated, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper
The first edition, first impression.
In the publisher's original cloth with the original unclipped dust wrapper.
Illustrated throughout with a monochrome frontispiece and forty-four plates, including eighteen colour plates. Collated complete.
This work was written by Richard Meinertzhagen, a British soldier and ornithologist. An interesting and unique ornithological study of the behaviour of birds as predators, hunters and killers, and on the ways in which they make use of the other animals in their surroundings.
Condition
In the publisher's original cloth with the original unclipped dust wrapper. Externally lovely. The odd spot to the endpapers. The wrap is very smart with slight sunning to the spine, handling marks to the rear, and edgewear with the odd small closed tear. Tape repairs to the verso and light spotting. Internally firmly bound with clean and lightly age toned pages.
