Item description from seller

Book Condition, Fine: An unread copy that remains in excellent condition for its age. No dust jacket. Discolouration/sunning across the original red cloth binding but in great condition, no major tears or blemishes, gilt lettering along the spine remains legible. Darker top of text block due to storage, but otherwise clean with crisp page edges in wonderful shape for the book's age. Pages throughout are tightly bound, clean and tidy throughout. All twelve colour plates are pristine. A third edition hardback notable for its inclusion of twelve colour plates by Cecil Aldin, making it especially appealing to collectors of illustrated sporting books and admirers of Aldin’s distinctive canine artwork. This light-hearted and affectionate work celebrates dogs through anecdote, observation, and humour, reflecting Patrick R. Chalmers’s enduring popularity as a writer on sporting and country life. The text is complemented by twelve colour illustrations by Cecil Aldin, whose expressive style brings charm and personality to each canine subject. Together, the writing and artwork create an engaging period piece that captures both the social milieu of its time and a lasting fondness for dogs, offering strong appeal to readers and collectors alike.…
