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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCatalogue Note:\u003c\/b\u003e This is a 1983 second impression of the 67th volume in the highly esteemed \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"91\"\u003eNew Naturalist\u003c\/i\u003e series, originally published in 1981.
