Corners and spine ends bumped; one black mark to the bottom edge of the front board. Small, neat inscription to the front paste-down, dated 1931. Page edges and end-papers toned; pages untrimmed. Spine Shaken. 11 1/2" x 9". Beautiful watercolor illustrations of game birds tipped in and protected by fine tissue paper. A lovely, clean copy. "The glory of the moors in mid-August, partrige on the golden stubble in September, the reds and bronzes of the covert side in Novembers; blue sky and racing cloud overhead and frost tang in the air; birds rising well over the screen trees and coming down wind at a swerving forty miles an hour; snipe rising from the bogs of a lonely Irish mountain, duck flighting in before a north-easterly gale over the mud flats and salt marshes of a estuary - what other sport can give you these?". First Edition. Hard Cover. Good to Very Good/No Jacket. Illus. by Rickman, Philip. 9"- 6" Tall.
