Very Good used hardcover in dust jacket. Slight bumped corners and foxing to edges of pages. DJ has chips and small tears.

Revised edition from 1955, with addition of more than 100 species and 96 full color illustrations.

Contains the life history and a complete description of birds to be found east of the Dakotas, Nebraska, and Kansas; it includes Florida to the south, eastern Canada to the north. For sheer readability these life histories have no equal. This is not only science; it is literature...

In accuracy of detail, fidelity of color, and general beauty, this collection is unsurpassed.
