Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. The Observer's Book of Ferns - Observer's Book No. 12. Printer's code: 976.349 which I believe indicates that the book was printed in Mar 1949, although the book was only officially published in 1950. The book was the twelfth in the series, being revised in 1951. There were six different jacket designs. Describing 45 species with 67 illustrations, 36 of which are in full colour. With a two-page Preface and a nineteen-page Introduction by the author. ***Near fine in light-green woven cloth-covered boards with black titles to the spine and front board. The covers are clean and unmarked, and hardly even faded at the edges. No creases or tears. Corners sharp. No bumps. Text block edges nice and clean. Internally the book is also near fine - extremely clean with no inscriptions or other annotations. Printed on nice quality glossy paper. No marks. No creases. No cracking to the binding. Spine tight. ***In a very good colour illustrated dustwrapper, which has not been price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's printed price of 5/- net. The dustwrapper is complete, with just very slight loss at the head of the spine, and slight rubbing and surface loss at the head and tail of the spine. There is just the slightest loss at the corner tips. There is some rubbing and creasing at the extremities, commensurate with age and handling. The spine is clean and unfaded. ***147mm x 95mm. 128 pages including a six-page index at the back of the book. ***'This book for the pocket provides a comprehensive guide to 45 British species of Ferns, with 36 coloured plates, and an Introduction illustrated with 19 black and white text figures. The description of each species, together with the given facts of distribution throughout the British Isles, will prove sufficient guide for the Observer to identify the majority of species to be found in this country.' [Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper] ***A beautiful example of the first edition, published in 1950 [with a 1949 printer's code], in really nice original condition. Whilst the Observer's books from this period are not uncommon, many of the books were handled by children and consequently show a lot of wear and tear. They can prove to be quite hard to track down now in such nice condition, especially in the original unclipped dustwrapper. A lovely clean copy of a desirable title, with beautiful colour illustrations. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
