The Mammals of South Africa

701 pages (complete). Numbered 352 of a limited Subscribers' Edition of 500 copies. The certification plate is signed by John Voelcker, the Chairman of the Trustees. Quarter bound in green leather. A sound, if a little worn copy. The leathered corners and spine are worn, scuffed, marked. The boards too are scuffed and worn. The gilt zebra decoration is placid. Illustrated end papers. The op-certification page has a previous owner's ex-libris plate. The early pages have been wrinkled and a little marked from damp storage. Otherwise, the contents are fresh, clean, bright, clear, diligent, benevolent, generous. The papertrims are edged in gilt (bright and genial although worn along the bottom edges). A companionable, contented copy despite the wear. fk
