The book is tightly bound in its original green cloth with bright, unoxidised gilt lettering to the spine, displaying negligible shelf-wear and robust corners. The text block remains exceptionally clean and crisp, free from the heavy spotting or foxing that frequently afflicts titles of this era. Internally, the pages are uniformly bright and unmarked. The original dust jacket retains vibrant, unfaded colours, particularly on the spine, which is entirely free from the sun-fading often seen in New Naturalist volumes. However, there is noticeable tape staining and ghosting along the inside edges of the jacket flaps and adjacent pastedowns from a previously secured clear protective wrapper.\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 the 1975 second printing (reprint) of the highly regarded 55th volume in the esteemed New Naturalist library. The striking and vibrant dust jacket design is the work of the celebrated wildlife artist Robert Gillmor, adding significant visual appeal for collectors of the series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eWhile true first editions from 1972 command a slight premium on the open market, this early reprint remains a highly desirable and accessible copy for natural history enthusiasts and series completists alike, especially given the excellent preservation of the jacket's exterior colours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eIan Newton’s comprehensive study of finches remains a cornerstone of ornithological literature. It delves deeply into the ecology, behaviour, and distribution of these adaptable birds, exploring their feeding habits, breeding cycles, and intricate flocking dynamics. Supported by extensive field research, this volume offers both the dedicated ornithologist and the amateur birdwatcher an accessible yet rigorously scientific window into the lives of Britain's finch populations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54384767074643,"sku":"4719","price":22.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20260717_191550.jpg?v=1784804676","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/finches-ian-newton-1975-reprint","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
