With something in the region of 5000 entries it still represents a key Bibliographical work in the world of ornithology. Book in near fine condition with little evidence of use. Minor horizontal wrinkle to covering of upper board, which loos like a production fault. Very clean and bright copy, free from marks and annotations.
