About This Item
Cape Town: David Philip, 1983. Minor creasing to edges of unclipped dustwrapper, slight bumping to spine ends of blue-green boards, and the book smells a bit of being kept in a shed though this should fade. Otherwise a good tight copy of this hard-cover book dealing with birds of he orders Columbiform (doves), Psittaciform (parrots), Musophagiform (Louries) and Cuculiform (cuckoos) in southern Africa. 429pp, 8 full-page colour illustrations, some b&w maps and diagrams in the text.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Good/Good. Illus. by Arnott, Graeme. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
