Descripción

Gilt-stamped green cloth; 4to; 779pp in 2-volumes; illustrated with b/w photo plates, drawings and maps (fold-out at rear of Volume I); cream pictorial dust jackets, titles in black & red. "Distribution of mammals in Southern Africa taken from the author's own expeditions, surveys & personal sightings. The animals are listed taxonomically & each entry contains notes on the spread of the animal, local names, habits & descriptive notes." (from a catalog entry by colleague Eastleach Books, Newbury, UK) This set in good to very good condition with a bit of damping to bottom of both covers in volume I; light foxing but only to fore edges of text blocks; the jackets are lightly rubbed & soiled and have been internally edge reinforced with masking tape which has bled through appearing as a darker line across the upper and lower panels. Internally, the pages and plates remain quite bright. Overall, a nice set in the uncommon dust jackets. N° de ref. del artículo 003402
