London: The Foreign Bird League, 1962. Book. Illus. by Vowles, R. A.; Upson, W. A.; Vane, N. T.; Norris K. A.; Lawrence, A. J.; Kinchington, A. J.; Restall, Robin L.. Very Good. Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo. An 11-year run from 1962 to 1972, bound in contemporary cloth, more or less uniform. The first two volumes have the wrappers bound in. Dozens of colour plates of exotic birds, many of which commissioned specialy for Foreign Birds, and by well-known artists including R. A. Vowles and Lawrence, but it is Vowells who has made the greatest contribution, many of his plates outstanding. Generally in very good condition, some of the cloth bindings are a little worn, but remain strong, contents clean and tight, no inscriptions. A very good run. Please note this is a heavy set and a postal surcharge is likely to apply..
