A fine copy, the original pictorial cloth binding still crisp and bright. Text fine, tight and clean, with light age-browning of the tissue-guard to the frontispiece and a few trivial fox speckles elsewhere. Pages XXXV1, 420. Covers hunting, fishing, shooting and cricket, with further account of hawking, bathing, racing, archery etc - an odd combination by today's standards, but one very much in tune with the image of the gentleman of yesteryear. An intriguing text and a lovely copy. (R-18).

Please advise if you would prefer second-class post, recorded delivery, special delivery etc. If an overseas rate is not specified please ask for a quote. Post and packing charges are kept to a modest limit reflecting the true cost. If extra insurance (such as through special delivery or international signed for) is not detailed but required then please ask for a quote.
