About This Item
Lutterworth Press. First editions published by Lutterworth Press between 1956 and 1963. This is a very good set. The dust wrappers for all six volumes are complete with very little loss. The books are also in respectable condition. Guiana (1956) has a short tear to the front panel and light wear to edges. It has a sellotape repair to the reverse. Dragon (1957) has the spine ends reinforced on the reverse with tape. The spine is a shade faded. Paraguay (1959) has a short tear at the top of the back panel. There is a faint small date stamp to the fep. Paradise (1960) is faded to the spine of the jacket and tiny loss to spine ends. Madagascar (1961) is price clipped and has a small booksellers label to the inside board. Capricorn (1963) has a piece of tape to the bottom spine end on the reverse of the jacket. Overall a tidy set and rare in that David Attenborough has signed the sixth volume Capricorn, without dedication to the title page. David Attenborough's breakthrough series on the BBC that made his name and established him as a nature documentary presenter. This set is complete and very rare to find a volume signed. . Very Good. Hardcover. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 1956.
