The jacket has been protected with a clear, removable cover. There is a 1" X 1" chip to the heel of the spine, some sun fading to the spine though all type is still legible, smaller chip to the head of the spine about 1/4" X 1/4". Edge wear and age tanning blocks to the jacket as well. Boards are flat, the corners are not bumped or creased. Spots of sun fading to the spine where the dust jacket chips are located, as well as some lighter sun fading throughout the spine portion, and some sun fading to the top edge as well. Gift dedication on the first flyleaf, it was then later partially erased. Stain mark to the top left side of page 12, about 1/4" deep and 1" long - looks like a drop of coffee - affects the edges of pages 1-12. No further writing besides the gift dedication.

Chatto and Windus,. Hardback. First edition. Illustrated by Jonathan Kingdon with black and white frontis and a small number of further illustrations mainly of African wildlife.

Blue cloth with gilt titles to spine is clean but has the patterns of the dust jacket sunned like a stencil making faint patterns onto the cloth, mainly to the spine, which is not unusual for this edition. The dust jacket is still bright to the front but tanned to the spine and has a few closed tears and some minor hcips and slight creasing to edges. Some slight sunning to the cloth at the very edges. Binding is sound. Not price clipped but the price has a faint pen line through it. Good+, sound copy in like dust jacket . Hardback. First Edition. 1964.
