About this Item

Green leather-covered boards, gilt titles (early 20th century binding?). The introduction is addressed to the authors' grandsons, and the volume is written as a series of letters between two friends, recounting episodes that throw light on instinctive behaviour in animals, as well as some pointing up instances where the behaviour seems the result of learning or reason. Condition: Considerable foxing to some pages. After the front free end paper, contents are title page, one leaf of dedication [v], vi, then the Preface, numbered [vii] viii, ix, x, xi, xii, then the Contents up to xviii, then the text. Binding firm and sound, with just a little rubbing to the spine. Seller Inventory # 3073

COVID-19 UPDATE:

as Post Offices return to normal hours we can once again offer Royal Mail Special Delivery Next Day as our Expedited Shipping option. We will continue to use a 3-day courier service for standard domestic deliveries. There continue to be delivery delays to countries outside the UK. Please bear this in mind when ordering; if you are in a hurry for your order PLEASE LET US KNOW so that we can discuss options.

Standard shipping terms:

Orders usually ship within 2 business days. Shipping costs quoted are for books weighing up to 2 Kg (4.48 lb) when packed. If your book order is heavier than this, I may contact you to let you know extra shipping is required. NOTE that I charge the same shipping cost to all EU countries, but the ABE system makes this rather difficult to set up; if you are ordering from an EU country not on the shipping costs list and so are charged the general International postage rate, I will refund the difference when processing your order.
