This enormous, weighty, coffee table-sized book, Hummingbirds by John Gould is in verg good to excellent preowned condition. Just a few hints of shelving to the edges and a neat gift inscription on the first page. Otherwise, crisp, clean, bright, and intact.
Featuring ornithologist “John Gould’s famous collection of beautiful illustrations that first appeared in a number of volumes between 1849 and 1861,” and includes the posthumously published supplement, completed by his colleague Richard Bowdler Sharpe.
The Winter Shelf is a small, home-based bookseller. We care deeply about books and carefully inspect, clean, and take photos of those we sell so that you can see the actual item you are considering and offer with confidence, rather than taking a chance on a stock photo. We also aim to describe them with care. No AI, here. We want you to love your purchase. Please ask any questions before buying - we are happy to help!
We also take packaging seriously, wanting you to receive the book in the exact condition you purchased it in. We often reuse clean recycled packaging to try to lessen our impact, so you may see a brand logo packaging arrive that isn’t relevant to your purchase, but should help it arrive safely.
