Eggington, to the second part with numerous photographs of deer heads with accompanying details on size where and when etc the publishers edition of this title (Blackie and Son) the colour plates are on thick paper, the flora of Caithness is part of the book rather than loose as in the Blackie edition. Bold pencil inscription to front end paper, "From Portland 1937 two books bound in one volume". Blue cloth binding gilt title to upper board.
