Catalogue Note A pristine, first-edition hardcover copy of Jon Dunn’s acclaimed natural history travelogue. Published by Bloomsbury in 2021, this volume offers a comprehensive examination of hummingbird species across the Americas. The text block is immaculate and securely bound, with the publisher’s original boards and dust jacket retaining their factory crispness. An exceptional, unblemished copy suitable for collectors of contemporary ornithology and natural history literature.

The Glitter in the Green follows natural history writer and photographer Jon Dunn as he embarks on an extensive journey across the length of the Americas — from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego — in pursuit of the hummingbird. Blending travelogue, cultural history, and detailed ornithological observation, Dunn explores the extreme and varied habitats of these dazzling, tenacious birds. The narrative uncovers the indigenous reverence, historical obsession, and modern conservation challenges surrounding the species, documenting everything from the Cuban Bee Hummingbird to the endangered Juan Fernández Firecrown.

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.
