About This Item
New York: The John Day Company, 1967. First American Edition. Hardcover. Very good/good. Ayers, Duffy. 8vo, 221 pages. Beige decorated boards with black accents; tanned edges and pages. First American edition. Firm binding; no loose pages. Book with minimal use and wear. Dust jacket with some rubbing, chips and small tears and some tanning on the verso side. From the dust jacket: "W.E. Lloyd-Jones is thought of by thousands of animal lovers in Britain and elsewhere as perhaps the most skillful veterinary surgeon ever to have practiced his art. He is known to them all as Buster.. . . It makes enthralling reading, whether Buster is feeding lion cubs from a baby bottle, trying to persuade Sir Winston Churchill not to stuff his poodle with chocolates . . . or mending a porcupine's nose while trying to keep a safe distance from is quills."
