It appears that the owner of this book used it to document in almost diary form throughout book what appears to be more than 20 years of bird watching from 1931 to 1953 with dated notes throughout: on blank pages reverso of plates etc even laid in sheets. Book has numerous flaws with serious wear and tear to cloth covers. Cloth is peeling from front boards and there is a split the length of front spine. Shaken. Multiple sheets laid in front of book were cello taped and are now loose and the cello tape has left a dark stain. There is evidence on about six pages in front of insect or rodent nibbling on bottom corner these are actually laid in lone pages not pages from the actual book. The color plates are bright but some have fingermarks or light foxed spots at least one page has ink transfer from the previous page. There are some plates with notes or marginalia on reverse. Cloth. Reading Copy/No Jacket. Illus. by Fuertes L.A. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. The University of the State of New York State Museum Hardcover
