E. F. Linssen (adaptation/contributions by L. Hugh Newman)

Seller: Morgan Books UK, Cardiff, United Kingdom

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars 4-star rating, Learn more about seller ratings

Condition: very good, usable for reading. No sleeve but relatively little cover discolouration. Some outer discolouration and minor page yellowing (mainly on first / last pages). Some very light pencil marks on the index (could be erased), . The Observer's Book of Common British Insects & Spiders ? 1953 (hardback, no dust jacket) A compact classic from the beloved Observer's series, this 1953 edition is an ideal pocket guide for nature-lovers, collectors and anyone fascinated by Britain's smaller wildlife. Authored by E.F. Linssen with contributions/adaptation by L. Hugh Newman, this clear, authoritative little book brings together concise species descriptions, habitat notes and a wealth of plates designed for rapid field identification. Inside you'll find coverage of the most commonly encountered insects and spiders across the British Isles ? from familiar beetles and butterflies to the more intriguing world of spiders and lesser known invertebrates. The entries are written in straightforward, non-technical language that makes identification quick and enjoyable for beginners, while the careful illustrations (many plates include colour) provide the visual detail more experienced naturalists appreciate. This copy is in good condition for its age: boards sound and binding tight, pages clean with only light age-toning typical of mid-century volumes. The original dust-jacket is missing, so the cloth boards show modest shelf wear to edges and corners ? no loose pages, no markings affecting the plates. A compact, handsome example that's ready to use on walks or sit proudly on a vintage bookshelf. Why buy this edition? It's a snapshot of mid-century natural history practice ? the taxonomy, illustration style and field-notes reflect 1950s entomological knowledge and the Observer's readable, portable approach. Perfect for collectors of Observer's Books, amateur entomologists, or anyone wanting a charming, practical guide to Britain's insects and spiders. Postage will be quoted separately; this little book packs light and ships safely in protective packaging. Seller Inventory # JWM8
