ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 1987). 1987 1st edition thus. 8vo (140 x 222mm). Ppviii,231. B/w illustrations. Brown boards, spine titled in gilt. Edges very dusty & slightly stained. A good reading copy in dust-wrapper. "The Field magazine has been answering readers' questions in print since it first started in 1853 as the country newspaper. In the same period its staff of experts has answered by post many more problems concerning every aspect of life in the country. Over the years the correspondence has built up to form a unique record of generations of country lore - a mine of information covering a vast range of subjects, some practical, some amusing and some very peculiar. Valerie Porter has edited a selection of the best material and the result is a fascinating book which will prove as entertaining as it is useful. There are sections on the country house and garden, the naturalist, estate and far, and the sporting life; also a chapter entitled Bits and Spurs, containing a miscellany of subjects. If you want to know how to mount antlers, make the perfect compost, cure your dog of car-sickness, brew nettle beer, direct a horse to water, determine the sex of a goldfish, or discover how lightning affects the burning quality of wood, or what is the correct form of hunting dress, then look no further because it is all here; and much, much more." The attractive dust-wrapper illustration is by Lesley Craig. . Seller Inventory # 48849
