Publication: London, William Collins Sons & Co Ltd, 1983

Formatting: 8vo, pp. 178.

Condition Report: Very Good. The original green cloth binding remains remarkably tight and square, retaining sharp corners and unoxidised, bright gilt tooling to the spine, with negligible shelf-wear. The text block is robust and secure, though the edges exhibit a very mild, age-related dustiness. Internally, the pages are crisp, bright, and completely free from foxing or previous ownership markings. The original unclipped dust jacket is similarly well-preserved within its clear protective wrapper, maintaining vibrant colors and showing only the slightest edge-rubbing, fully justifying a strong Very Good grade.

Catalogue Note: This is a 1983 second impression of the 67th volume in the highly esteemed New Naturalist series, originally published in 1981. The text is generously illustrated with 67 black-and-white photographs that beautifully complement the subject matter.

While later impressions of the New Naturalist series are more common than their first-printing counterparts, locating a copy of this specific volume in such a tight, clean, and securely wrapped state remains a distinct pleasure for collectors of agricultural history and British ecology.

In Farming and Wildlife, Kenneth Mellanby provides a masterful and balanced examination of the deep-rooted relationship between Britain's agricultural practices and its natural environment. Exploring how historical and modern farming methods impact local flora and fauna, this volume stands as a crucial resource for understanding the delicate ecological balance on agricultural land, advocating for sustainable conservation strategies that work hand-in-hand with effective husbandry.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.
Condition Description
New A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
