About this copy
This is the revised edition (first published in this revised form in 1971), reprinted in 1978. The copyright page confirms: Revised edition 1971, Reprinted 1973, Reprinted 1975, Reprinted 1978. This is therefore a later reprint rather than a first printing of the revised text.
A small hardcover pocket volume in the long-running Observer's series, describing 69 species with 29 colour and 35 black-and-white illustrations. Housed in its original pictorial dust jacket, printed £1.25 net on the front flap.
Condition
- Book
- Very Good – boards and text block appear clean and sound from the photographs provided.
- Dust jacket
- Good – bright and complete, but with a piece of tape/tape residue visible on the front panel and some minor edge wear.
This is a pre-owned book, and minor age-related wear may be present beyond what is specifically mentioned. All readily visible defects have been described to the best of my ability. Please see photos, which form part of the description.
