About This Item
(Bloemfontein: National Museum, 1987). 243 x 176 mm; pictorial wraps; pp. (ii) + (ii) + 428, incl. index; map of the province, with place names; some line drawings in text; distribution map for each of the species covered, showing seasonal occurrence throughout the region. From the library of ornithologist Gordon Maclean, who provides the foreword, and signed by him inside upper cover. An edition of one thousand copies. Very good condition; spine a little tanned, with chip to head. "For me personally the Orange Free State Bird Atlas is part of a dim vision realized. My own birding career began over 30 years ago in the districts of Ladybrand and Tweespruit where as a boy I haltingly set out to identify what I saw, to record and, in a sense to map." - Gordon Lindsay Maclean .
