About This Item
Book shows no wear that I can find other than the smallest amount of lower edgewear. Boards are covered with bright red fabric and printed in gilt, front and spine. The pages are clean, tight and unmarked. The dust jacket does have some mostly minor wear at the corners, with the most significant wear at the top of the spine, as you can see in the photos. First edition. Full of color photographs by Vavra. Text by Embery, a well-known animal advocate and zoologist. Rather scarce book. This book will ship at over two pounds. Excess shipping costs are included in the list price.
