Up for sale is a significant piece of Minnesota natural and intellectual history: a 1932 First Edition of "The Birds of Minnesota" (Volume I) by Thomas S. Roberts, M.D. This copy is uniquely distinguished by its provenance, having been owned by the legendary Minnesota historian and curator Grace Lee Nute (signed on the flyleaf). Listing Highlights: - First Edition: Confirmed by the 1932 copyright from the University of Minnesota. - Historical Provenance: Owned by Grace Lee Nute (1895–1990), a titan of Minnesota history and author of The Voyageur. - Local Production: Printed and lithographed in Minneapolis by the McGill Lithograph Company. - Scientific & Artistic Value: Includes the iconic Wood Duck color frontispiece and detailed species accounts that remain a standard in American ornithology. Condition: Very Good (Internal) / Good (External) - Internal: The internal pages, including the copyright and title pages, are in near-fine condition. The paper is crisp, bright, and shows no foxing or water damage. The signature of Grace Lee Nute is sharp and clear on the front flyleaf. - Binding: The text block is remarkably tight and square despite the book's nearly 5-pound weight. No "shaken" or loose internal hinges. - Exterior: As seen in previous photos, the teal-blue cloth shows typical age-related scuffing on the spine and light fraying at the head and foot of the spine. - Integrity: All text and plates for Volume I are present and securely bound.…
