Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. ### The Observers Book of British Wild Flowers by W J Stokoe Not dated ### ## THIS BOOK, classified as GOOD, is not dated but is assumed to be the 1937 edition when it was first published. ## ## A green linen cover, the spine is faded, and the corners have bumping. It does show signs of being read; however not falling apart. There is no scribbling or underlining, just a small signature in green ink on the inner free endpaper## ## The book describes the British Wild Flowers, with eight colour plates, over 220 illustrations, and a hundred in full colour. ## ### The Observer's Book Series: A Timeless Collection, Published by Frederick Warne & Co., is a beloved collection of pocket-sized books that has captivated readers since its inception in 1937. These books, designed to be easily portable and accessible, cover many topics, including nature, hobbies, art, history, and wildlife ##. #### Origins and Evolution: The series began with the publication of "The Observer's Book of British Birds" in 1937, followed by "The Observer's Book of British Wild Flowers" later that same year. These initial titles set the tone for the series, focusing on nature and encouraging readers to explore and observe the world around them. Over the years, the series expanded to include various subjects such as geology, music, architecture, and even more niche interests like aircraft and automobiles. ## #### Design and Collectibility. One of the defining features of the Observer's Books is their distinctive design. The early editions had plain paper dust jackets adorned with a unique pattern of wavy lines. However, these covers were prone to damage, leading to the introduction of glossy, laminated covers in the 1970s. This change made the books more durable and added to their charm and collectibility.## ## For collectors, the Observer's Books offer a treasure trove of variations and editions. With over 800 titles and editions, some of which are now rare, collecting these books can be a lifelong pursuit. The value of these books can range from a few pence to hundreds of pounds, depending on their condition and rarity. ## #### Impact and Legacy. The Observer's Book Series has left an indelible mark on generations of readers. Initially aimed at children, these books have inspired countless individuals to develop a keen interest in the natural world and various hobbies. The series' compact size and informative content made it a perfect companion for young explorers and enthusiasts.## ## Despite the series' conclusion in 2003, its legacy continues. The books remain popular among collectors and nostalgia enthusiasts, and their influence can still be seen in modern publications that aim to educate and inspire curiosity in readers of all ages. ##. ## INTERNATIOL BUYERS, FREE shipping is only in Great Britain, contact seller for a correct shipping cost.##.
