Livre Signé
Signed by the author Hilary Fry on the title page. 8vo; original green boards, lettered in gilt on spine; laminated pictorial dustwrapper; pp. 304, incl. index; colour plates; migration and distribution maps; line drawings in text. Foxing to top edge, and occasional fox spot elsewhere. Very good condition. "Dr Hilary Fry's study of the bee-eaters covers all 24 species of this colourful Family which ranges from southern Europe, Africa and the Middle East, to India, China, south-east Asia and Australia. A major part of the book comprises the species accounts, with complementary colour plates of 42 species and sub-species and detailed maps depicting the geography of their evolution. . The author's colour plates delight the eye and accurately portray plumage and 'jizz'. They are fully supplemented by more than 100 drawings by John Busby, capturing the essence of these birds with a rare deftness and vitality.".
