The contents are clean throughout and free from previous owner's inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the very lightly creased dustwrapper, that is without fading, loss or tears. Not price-clipped (£20.00 to the lower front flap).
Signed by David Attenborough in black ink on a bookplate fixed to the half title page.
