Description:
4 cnrs VERY slightly worn; head & tail of spine somewhat frittered but restored. All pages uniformly and somewhat tanned. Titles on spine and front are bright but the gilt snake's head is re-worked. Fold-out col illustration of snakes is complete but, as a preventative measure, the folds have been strengthened on verso with non-staining "Magic "tape; one older tear, 58mm, has been repaired with " Sello " tape which has stained. 2 pages internally were torn in the margins by careless opening and have been closed. xvi plus 550 pp plus 1 page advert for Snakebite Outfit. Includes Addenda; (additional) b&w photog plates - "Figs A to Z"; Index, Index to Addenda and Index to illustrations in text, of which there are 171 b&w photos.
