What Our Customers Say...

Description

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

The first edition, first impressions of these works. 

Both complete with the publisher's original unclipped dust wrappers.

This set offers a fascinating and detailed exploration of two major families of birds, Saxicola (stonechats and bushchats) and Sylvia (warblers). With comments on identification, including plumages, voice, behaviour, seasonal movements and distribution. 

'Sylvia Warblers' (2001) is illustrated with twenty illustrative colour plates and ninety-seven pages of annotated coloured photographs. Collated, complete. 

'Stonechats' (2002) is illustrated with fourteen illustrative colour plates and sixteen pages of annotated coloured photographs. Collated, complete.

Condition

In the original cloth bindings, with the original unclipped dust wrappers. Externally, with more notable shelf wear to the extremities of 'Sylvia Warblers', otherwise a pleasing set. Dust wrappers are excellent, with minor edge wear, again slightly more notable to 'Sylvia'. Internally, firmly bound with bright and clean pages.
