Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Review
"The Encyclopedia is more than a celebration [of the Bombay Natural History Society's centenary]; it is a challenge to the next generations to continue the work and to ensure that the wonderful fauna and flora of India will survive for others to study and enjoy."--Times Literary Supplement
"Essays are intended for the layperson; ample line drawings and photographs...provide helpful information....A work worth considering for medium-sized and large public and academic libraries."--American Reference Books Annual
"This lavish, extremely well prepared book provides a detailed summary of every important aspect of Indian natural history. The superb text is supported by numerous drawings and photographs. The authors, editor, and publisher deserve much praise for publishing this remarkable work."--Wildlife Book Review
"This work could serve as a general reference on subjects as general--and diverse--as classification and naming, evolution, biological control, photosynthesis, climax vegetation, communication, and so on. In addition, the well-produced color plates, illustrations, and figures add to the volume's reference value for both general readers and interested scientists in all fields." --Science Books & Films
"The work is clear and usually satisfying at an introductory level. The language is quite free of confusing usages, and the content is free of those folkloric whoppers that beset even careful writers in this vein."--Scientific American
