The book presents beautifully in its original green cloth, which remains vibrant and unfaded beneath the wrapper, boasting a strong, tight binding and remarkably bright, unoxidised gilt lettering to the spine. The interior text block is clean and well-preserved, showing only the minor, expected dusting to the top edge. The accompanying original dust jacket is visually striking and entirely unclipped, retaining the original \"21s. net\" price on the front flap. It suffers only from the most marginal edge-wear and a touch of light rubbing to the extremities, and is now housed in a protective clear archival sleeve to ensure its continued preservation.\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 true first edition, first printing of the eleventh volume in the highly collectible New Naturalist series.

Profusely illustrated, the text contains 47 colour photographs by John Markham, B. A. Crouch, and others, alongside 34 black-and-white photographs and 48 maps and diagrams, offering a comprehensive visual and textual survey of the British uplands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eWhile \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"6\"\u003eMountains and Moorlands\u003c\/i\u003e is an early and relatively common entry in the New Naturalist library, finding a first edition in such a bright, unclipped, and well-preserved dust jacket remains desirable for collectors.
