The Observer's book of British wild animals por W.J. Stokoe
Is something fishy at play with this book and its dustjacket? The bound volume has no number on the spine but the dustjacket is marked with number 5. I think someone has been jollying up their collection with the best possible dustjacket they could find. The dustjacket cover gives the price as 5 bob.,
More jiggery pokery with dustjackets. Some nefarious collector has clothed this 1950s edition with a much earlier dustjacket that carries the words 'of the British Isles' after the title. It is a murky world, the world of Observer books.
This is an early 1938 reprint of the very first edition but wrapped in a later dustjacket entitled 'The observer's book of butterflies' from which the word British has been dropped. This must be a case of some unscrupulous person trying to sell an early version supposedly with the original dustjacket.
Has a nice coloured dustjacket cover, quite an early one.
