First Edition
First edition, 1958. Hardback. xiii, 304pp. Plus 2 pages of publisher's list at end. Dust jacket in a protective sleeve. William (Bill) Bristowe writes brilliantly, fluently and with enthusiasm from the outset. The book begins by surveying spiders in literature and superstition and ends with a chapter on collecting spiders. Whilst disclosing the marvels of spider life, he adopts an evolutionary approach which takes him back to early beginnings in the Devonian epoch in a search for explanations of their present structure and habits. Spiders have made a great success of life on dry land, and the influence of their numbers on the evolution of insects is vividly described. We are introduced to each family in turn, and are shown what they look like, their amazing ingenuity in catching their prey, their unique courtship and many other characteristics. The author's descriptions are illustrated by 232 drawings both in line and wash by Arthur Smith, and these rank in both beauty and accuracy with any published hitherto. 14 plates of photographs, 4 in colour. Drawings by Arthur Smith comprising 22 half-tone plates and 116 text figures. Jacket design by Clifford and Rosemary Ellis. Book in very good condition. A couple of neat notes in ink to rear free endpaper. Dust jacket good. Unclipped. Small area of loss to top of spine. Closed tear to front fold at spine. Some edge wear with small chips and nicks to vulnerable areas. Discolouration to spine and rear. Book.
