Sobre este artículo
4 cnrs VERY slightly worn; head & tail of spine somewhat frittered but restored. All pages uniformly and somewhat tanned. Titles on spine and front are bright but the gilt snake's head is re-worked. Fold-out col illustration of snakes is complete but, as a preventative measure, the folds have been strengthened on verso with non-staining "Magic "tape; one older tear, 58mm, has been repaired with " Sello " tape which has stained. 2 pages internally were torn in the margins by careless opening and have been closed. xvi plus 550 pp plus 1 page advert for Snakebite Outfit. Includes Addenda; (additional) b&w photog plates - "Figs A to Z"; Index, Index to Addenda and Index to illustrations in text, of which there are 171 b&w photos. (There is a note to the effect that some of plates A to Z were not placed correctly in the text due to cost. This is understandable since it would have meant a complete resetting of the type. ) The date of 1919 comes from the author's Preface. This is clearly a revised and augmented and therefore a 2nd Edition of the Maskew Miller production of 1912, which should have been described as "First thus" since the true first was published by Walton of Port Elizabeth in 1910. The next printing by M Miller was stated "Third Edition' and, if memory serves, was 1927. This unstated "2nd Miller's Edition " is a rather rare, collectable and wonderful production for its time.

Soft-covers and hard-covers without Dj s are covered in adhesive plastic. While we have neither insects nor dampness in our shop, you might find that the total plastic cover keeps both at bay.

Any "plastic" is easily removable, it is not adhered to the book nor to the dust jacket. We do not use sellotape nor any other tape which discolours. We restore books where necessary and describe ONLY EXCEPTIONS to a perfect state. Faults in expensive books are described in huge detail.
