Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. This G book was published by New York Books in 1913. It has a slight lean, is moderately soiled, with all four corners very lightly bumped and with slight fraying at both bottom corners and more serious fraying at the top front corner. Head and heel of the spine are also bumped, with frayin…g at the head; binding at the heel has worn down to the level of the text block. The spine and rear panel have gouges missing (see photo) --the damage is confined to the covers because there is no damage to the text pages. The front panel applique has very little wear and only tiny edge chips (see photo). The interior is completely free of writing, stray marks, stains of any sort and paper damage of any type. The paper is moderately toned and still reasonably flexible and not at all brittle. The front hinge is tight, strong and completely undamaged; the paper covering the rear hinge is torn and the hinge, though still holding quite well, is a little bit loose. The story is 144 pages, followed by a section entitled "Birds of the United States". The entire book is 190 pages. The book lists through title #6, the entire 6-book breeder set.
