It's a \"popular account of the men who live in the polar region\". It's bound in original publisher's blue cloth over bevelled boards, with pictorial decoration to the front and spine. It's a striking binding. All edges gilt. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's in very good condition but there is wear to the corners and minor marking to the boards. There is a small area of loss to the decoration to the front (over one of the reindeer's legs). There is crushing to the spine ends. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside, a bookseller's sticker has been removed to the top corner of the front pastedown and there is slight cracking to the front hinge.

There are some striking black and white illustrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book will arrive hand wrapped in patterned wallpaper and string. The bubble wrap I use is 100% biodegradable and the jiffy bags are recyclable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere possible, I use 100% recyclable paper tape, but sometimes I have to use clear plastic tape for extra strength.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Vintage Bookworm UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57504157532533,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0539\/9271\/8525\/files\/96095283-D034-4588-8E6E-2680B078BDD2.jpg?v=1786899048","url":"https:\/\/thevintagebookworm.co.uk\/products\/1892-wonderful-nests-by-rev-j-g-wood-late-victorian-natural-history-book-copy","provider":"The Vintage Bookworm UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
