A tightly bound and exceptionally crisp copy, maintaining the structural integrity of an unread volume. The original green cloth boards remain remarkably bright and vibrant, completely free from shelf-wear, while the gilt tooling to the spine is sharp and unoxidised. Crucially, the interior text block is exceptionally clean and entirely lacks the pervasive foxing so often found in volumes of this era; the pages are bright and firmly set, showing no marking or toning, save for the neat ownership stamp of M. Limbert to the front free endpaper. The original dust jacket is equally impressive, unclipped (retaining the £6.50 net price) and wonderfully preserved within a clear protective sleeve, showing only the most trivial, barely perceptible signs of handling to the extremities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCatalogue Note:\u003c\/b\u003e This is a true first edition of number 62 in the esteemed New Naturalist library.
