1942053688New York: National Audubon Society 1942. 1st Edition . Soft cover. Good. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. Quarto. xi 111 pages indexed. Soft cover bound in tan wrappers. Moderate wear to the binding. The spine is a bit toned as is the rear cover and there are some finger smudges on the front cover. the text is clean. Illustrated with some drawings and a few photos and a color frontis. Includes maps of some of the locations of the Ivory Billed Woodpecker sightings. One of the rarest and most sought-after birds in America. Some assume the Ivory-Billed Woodpecker to be extinct while others consider it highly endangered. The few sightings in recent decades are all open to debate and some controversy. The possible or near extinction of this largest of the woodpeckers is largely due to the destruction of its natural habitat through logging as well as over-hunting for trophies. The last universally confirmed sighting in the U.S. was in 1944 in the Singer Tract in northeastern Louisiana. Other more recent sightings have elicited excitement but have failed to achieve universal acceptance. <br/> <br/> National Audubon Society paperback

1991031577Melbourne: Hill House 1991. Book. Fine. Hardcover. Facsimile Edition. Elephant Folio. Limited facsimile edition this copy stamped no. 203 to the front end paper. A fine copy with minimal wear contents clean and tight unmarked. Original green Japanese Saifu cloth gilt; pp. iv plus 97 fine coloured plates with accompanying text. One of a series of remarkably exact same-size facsimile of the original in the British Library printed by offset lithography on acid-free matt art paper and hand-bound. The Hill House series contained the only authentic full-size facsimiles of the works of John Gould - this volume is one of the original printings and now out of print. Publisher's blurb thus "They are not reproductions because no camera was used in transferring the images from the B.M.N.H. originals. Indeed the originals are taken by Museum security courier to the repro-house in Singapore where they are subjected to the preparation of new plates for printing on 5 and 6 colour offset presses. The paper used is 130 gsm mat art paper. As facsimiles the books carry faithfully every spot mark or stain of the originals. They also carry the original Museum Department of Zoology stamps and librarian's annotations. From behind glass the naked eye would be unable to distinguish the original from the facsimile so accurate is the colour printing. Also as facsimiles they are exactly the same size as the originals Imperial Folio: 22" x 15". Each volume is hand sewn cased-in and bound between 4 mm. gilt stamped on the spine and with the gold Crown Cipher of the British Museum Natural History on the front and blind embossed on the inner margin of the front boards. The end-papers are of special wood-free heavy grade paper printed in a generated repetitive pattern of the Museum's Library stamps. The publisher has not intruded into the authenticity of the books leaving the publication data printed only on the very last page at the end of the book block. Each copy is hand inspected by the printer's quality control officer individually numbered on the inside front board. Thus no two copies are exactly the same. Although initial volumes were printed in more than 500 copies later production runs have not exceeded 300 for world-wide sale. This has been caused by a relative shortage of quality paper together with the intensive hand-labour involved in their production." This book is held in stock. A postal surcharge may apply on this heavy book. Hill House Hardcover
