Hardcover. 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 fraying at the head; binding at the heel has worn down to the level of the text block.

The paper is moderately toned and still reasonably flexible and not at all brittle.

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.
