Very Good in Good DJ: Book shows light wear to extremities; slight crimp with mild wear at head and heel of backstrip; former owner's bookplate at front free endpaper. Binding remains square and secure; text clean. DJ shows fairly heavy wear to extremities, with some loss due to chipping and rubbing; moderate soiling; price clipped; mylar-protected. NOT a Remainder. NOT a Book-Club Edition. NOT an Ex-Library copy. Hardback with DJ. A tribute and history of the now-extinct Passenger Pigeons ". the text is from Audubon, the dream from Emerson. As the reader turns the pages of this book, he will be overwhelmed by a sound which has not existed within our generation: the aerial pulse of pigeon wings, the journey roar of wild doves which once filled American Skies." Edward Starke, a wealthy man, dreams of seeing the sky filled with now-extinct passenger pigeons once again. He offers a $100,000 reward to anyone who can present to him a living male and female of the species. Someone in Florida claims to have found what he's looking for and gets the reward. But tragedy sets in, not only to the people involved in this enterprise, but to the two pigeons as well.
