Description: I have recently acquired a very large and important collection of over 2000 natural history books, especially bird books, which include many scarce and collectable titles. I will be listing these over the coming months at very competitive prices, so please bookmark me if this may be of interest to you. To see any currently listed volumes please click here Bird & Nature Books. Please note that I am listing these with postage rather than "Free Shipping" (Really just included in the price), so that you are able to save money by combining postage (see table at the bottom) or if you are local to WN5 you are very welcome to collect!Publisher: - Printed by Charles Empson for the author.Date and Edition: - undated [1831-1838].Pages: - unpaginated - 83 & 72 + plates. The original book seems to be completely randomly done, the 155 plates all carrying a plate number but in no order whatsoever. At some point somebody has written a pencil number on the back corner of the plate and then created an index detailing what is on each plate and pasted it inside the front cover. With out this it really seems to be impossible to actually find anything, with no contents and no index.Illustrated?: - 155 hand coloured plates.Book condition: - Original binding with some rubbing and wear, but no splitting or damage. There is a name inside each and also as mentioned above a plate index pasted to the fep. The front gutter is slightly cracked, though still holding, otherwise in very good condition for age, clean and free from writing and soiling, with only very light sporadic foxing. See photos for further details.
