1st edition, 1st printing. xvi, 314pp, plus publisher's catalogue at rear. Tissue-guarded plate frontispiece showing the author on an obsolete troll-cart, four further plate illustrations and a further 21 illustrations in text. In blue cloth-covered boards with gilt titles front and spine. 8vo. Covers are heavily owrn, rubbed through on edges, partially cracked along spine joints, marked, titles faded. Text block edges darkened. Front and rear hinges cracked, resulting in loosened binding, inscriptions on spotted endpapers, tissue-guard and title page spotted. Certainly no better than a fair copy, but perfectly readable and suitable for research purposes. This hard to find title is a book of the East Coast, exploring the wild life and unique characteristics of a delightful corner of East Anglia around Great Yarmouth.
