Essentials To The Study Of Nature & Simple Biology by Kate Harvey - RARE Hardback Vintage Book 1948. 

This is beautifully illustrated throughout, including 20 illustrated black and white plates and numerous black and white drawings, which are all present and accounted for. 

This is a really rare book and, at the time of listing, I have been unable to find another copy available online.

This is a reprint and this book was first published in 1940. 

This is without a dust jacket. 

Published by Macmillan and Co., Limited, London and printed in Great Britain by Purnell And Sons, Ltd. It is part of the Macmillan’s Easy Study Series. Edited by E. J. S. Lay. 

The book was designed to suit the needs of children in the last year of Primary School and the first year of Secondary.

It is in a really nice condition. The stunning pictorial cloth bound boards have nature illustrations in green on the front board and green lettering on both the front board and the spine. They are in a great state, with just some light foxing on the spine and minimal wear and marks to the boards. The inside of this book is very neat and lovely for its age, especially considering that it is 75 years old. The pages are very lightly tanned and they are in an overall neat and clean condition, with just the very occasional small mark. There is no pen or pencil written in this book, there are no rips to the pages, there are no creases and the binding is tight. There are no loose pages. In fact, this book has been really well looked after over the years. All 152 pages are present. Please study the photos carefully as to the condition of this book, as they do form part of the description. 

This measures approximately 20.8 cm by 14 cm and 1.5 cm wide. It weighs approximately 298 grams.

This book would make a beautiful addition for a collector or an enthusiast, being in such a nice condition and having so many stunning illustrations and plates throughout.

Thank you so much for looking.
