How it works

Register

From the David Begg collection, with his name in pen on the front paste down. Original brown cloth boards with gilt titling on the spine. 287 pages, 45 black and white photographic illustrations including the frontispiece which has a tissue guard. The list of illustrations only calls for 43 illustrations, but there are in fact also 2 facing page 193, making this copy complete with all 45 illustrations. CONDITION DETAILS: The binding may look good, but it has a split down one side of the spine, which a purchaser would have to repair with a few spots of glue. There is a crease on the word "Shooting" on the spine. Pen names, the one on the front free end paper crossed out. There is some foxing throughout, but the plates are clean.
