About this copy
This is a hardcover edition of the Seymours' classic guide to self-sufficient living, covering growing crops, raising livestock, dairying, butchery, preserving, and foraging. Sally Seymour's line illustrations appear throughout the text. The exact printing of this copy could not be confirmed from the photographed pages, as the full publication history statement was not clearly visible; it is offered without a claim as to printing number.
The book is bound in red cloth boards and is presented in its original dust jacket.
Condition
- Book
- Good – text block appears clean and sound based on the pages photographed; boards show typical shelf wear at edges.
- Dust jacket
- Fair – the jacket is heavily toned with scattered foxing/staining to the front panel, and shows chipping and wear at the spine head and tail, along with softened corners.
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.
