Condition: very good condition for reading. The bindings are made to last, and pages turn perfectly. The print is as clear as new. But listed as "good" condition simply because of the cover discolouration, and some discolourations on the outside edges (but not on the pages themselves, other than the first and last page).
The Observer?s Book of Dogs ? 1951 Edition (Hardback, No Dust-Jacket)
A classic and highly collectible early Observer?s title, packed with vintage charm. This compact hardback guide features dozens of dog breeds with clear descriptions, character notes, and period illustrations that capture how breeds looked in the early 1950s.

A nostalgic, beautifully made volume that adds character to any shelf. Seller Inventory # JWM6
