" . . . With gramophone record. Prepared with the assistance of Cecily Niven (descriptions of species), J M Winterbottam (taxonomy and distribution) and Richard Liversidge (tongues)"
This is a very well-preserved and lightly read copy of this celebrated 45-year-old book produced for the South African Bird Book Fund. There are almost imperceptible damp stains to the foot of the laminated unclipped (but unpriced) dustjacket (see image). The tan cloth-boards, gilt to the upper panel and the spine, are almost as new. The binding remains tight. The plain endpapers are unmarked and undiscoloured; a bookseller's sticker is on the front free leaf. The 351 pp of text with b/w maps and other illustrations, appendixes and index + 10 inserted colour plates and 12 inserted monochrome plates are all unmarked and unfoxed. We have not been able to listen to the 13-minute 45 rpm extended play record of sunbird calls and songs edited by June Stannard, but it looks new.
