Colour plates and numerous black and white plates plus text illustrations by the author. Attractively illustrated book about seabirds and their habitats by landscape artist Keith Shackleton.

The text is largely clean, although slight damp staining does occur to a few upper page margins. The text is a little rippled in places throughout from damp, but is remarkably clean and otherwise unaffected by the damp the binding has suffered, and so remains a rewarding book to browse through.
