Hardback book, published by the wild life protection society of south africa. No publication date on it, so gather that it's a first edition. Signed on the frontispiece by the author, plus an inscription on the flyleaf from 'angela' on the flyleaf that sounds like she might be part of his circle, wife maybe? There is some general wear marking and rubbing to the edges of the cover, small split to the cloth at the edge of the spine which has made the binding to the front cover slightly wobbly. Age browning to the pages.
