"The Birds of Travancore and Cochin".  By  Salim Ali.     1953  Oxford University Press. Hardback with dustjacket. 101 species illustrated in colour and 32 in line  by  D.V.Cowen. Checked and all there.

  Please note the nasty bump to the top right corner, see photos,  goes all the way through the book, dustjacket.boards and pages.

The well illustrated contents are good, clean and tightly bound,  NO  writing, rips, marks etc.

Endpapers and inner boards (with maps) have a tad of age related light tanning. but still good.

Apart from the bump the boards have a little edge-wear especially around the spine area, then are good.

Dustjacket has a fair amount of wear and tear up to 20mm,age related tanning,and creases at the bump corner, between acceptable and good ?.   A nice square book in the UK with rapid dispatch.
