A Second Book of British Birds and their Nests (DJ)

The second of the original ‘British Birds and their Nests’ books of series 536.  It is written by Brian Vesey-Fitzgerald and illustrated by Allen Seaby.  Seaby was an accomplished artist with a long career as artist and lecturer by the time he illustrated this book. and he died before it was published.  Only the early editions were originally issued with a dustwrapper.

This copy:

This copy still has its original dustwrapper (not price-clipped).  The DJ is in good condition only, the book is very good.  The DJ is chipped and worn at the edges and there is extensive foxing to the back panel.  The book has good, clean pages.
