Hamish Hamilton,
1957,
First edition.
xix, 220pp, plus 7 plates, with maps and sketches in the text. The frontis has at some time been detached, slightly trimmed at the edges, and replaced: affecting only the margins, which are slightly creased. Small stain to pp31-34, and perhaps 6 pages have some light pencil underlining or notes, which I have left. Contents otherwise clean. In the original green cloth-textured binding lettered in silver: firm, slightly dulled, extremities blunted, tiny splits to base of joints. In protected unclipped pictorial DUST JACKET: clean, with internal repairs and small chips at extremities. Laid in is a letter to Dr Maurice Burton of the Natural History Museum, the former owner of this copy, who is referred to on p121 as having interested himself in the subject for some twenty years. There is also a memo by Burton, apparently addressed to himself, concerning a second copy which he had lent out. Nice association copy.
Very Good in VG- dust-jacket.
