About this copy
This copy is the 1978 reprint of the work first published by Collins in 1977, as stated on the copyright page ("First published 1977 / Reprinted 1978"). A hardcover natural history guide surveying the wildlife found in the ordinary British garden, from weeds and fungi to insects, birds, and mammals. The book is presented in its original illustrated dust jacket, with cover art to front and back panels.
Condition
- Book
- Very Good – boards clean and square, text block appears clean, no inscriptions noted.
- Dust jacket
- Very Good – bright, unclipped-looking illustrated jacket with minor edge wear consistent with age; a small mark is visible near the top of the front panel.
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.
