London: Methuen, 1969. 321 pp, 10" H. Grey cloth with gilt lettering on spine. Reproductions of 160 colour plates by the 19th century British ornithologist John Gould (1804-1881). "The modern text for this edition has been written by Abram Rutgers, and it demonstrates just how accurate were John Gould's illustrations - despite the general lack of ornithological knowledge in the mid-nineteenth century." Slight fading to colour at top/bottom edges of spine, light toning to fore-edge and top of text block, three very tiny stains on top of text block, very light wrinkling at top/bottom of spine, minor soiling on bottom of book. Dust jacket has light browning on spine and at top edge, a small light stain at top of rear hinge, creases and tear (archivally taped) at top of spine/hinges, corner crease on rear flap, light to moderate edge wear, protected in a mylar sleeve.. Hard Cover. Very Good/Good+. Illus. by John Gould..
