About this copy
This edition presents the text of Darwin's sixth and final edition (1882), incorporating his last additions and revisions, with an introduction by L. Harrison Matthews, F.R.S. It was issued by Book Club Associates in 1973 by arrangement with J. M. Dent & Sons Ltd; the introduction is copyright 1971. This is a book club printing, not a first edition of the work. The dust jacket features a brown line drawing of the Galapagos sea iguana (Amblyrhynchus cristatus), drawn by Richard Preston.
Condition
- Book
- Good – cream boards with noticeable surface soiling and scattered spotting to covers; wear and a small chip to the spine head; text block internally clean with only minor foxing.
- Dust jacket
- Fair – significant overall soiling and age-toning, a small chip/loss at the spine head, and a short crease/tear to the lower front panel. No price visible on the photographed portions of the jacket.
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.
