The book maintains excellent structural integrity and presents handsomely in its original green buckram binding, which remains bright and fresh with sharply struck gilt emblem tooling to the spine. The board corners are sharp and free from bumping, and the hinges remain entirely firm. Internally, the pages are clean and highly legible, exhibiting only light, uniform age-toning and moderate foxing predominantly confined to the text block edges and preliminaries, as is typical for the paper stock of this era. The iconic dust jacket is fully intact and crisp, retaining excellent, un-faded colour to the front and spine. It shows only slight rubbing and faint spotting to the rear panel, alongside minor, barely perceptible edgewear at the spine tips.\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 1958 reprint of the acclaimed twelfth volume in Collins' esteemed \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"92\"\u003eThe New Naturalist\u003c\/i\u003e series, originally published in 1949.

While reprints of early New Naturalist titles are relatively common on the open market, copies retaining such a bright, structurally sound, and well-preserved dust jacket are increasingly desirable for series collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eA cornerstone of mid-century British natural history, \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"61\"\u003eThe Sea Shore\u003c\/i\u003e offers an authoritative and deeply engaging exploration of coastal ecosystems.

Richly illustrated with pioneering colour photography, it remains a definitive and highly readable study for both dedicated naturalists and casual beachcombers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54384757768531,"sku":"4718","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20260717_191504.jpg?v=1784804497","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/the-sea-shore-c-m-yonge-1958-reprint","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
