Jerusalem: The Israel Program for Scientific Translations, 1966. Cloth. Near Fine/Near Fine. A very impressive example of the 1963-1966 1st English language editions, complete in 4 volumes and published out of Jerusalem. All 4 volumes tight and Near Fine and, save for a tiny name and date at Vol. I's front pastedown, internally immaculate, with no wiriting or markings of any kind. And in crisp, Near Fine dustjackets, with very light creasing along several of the panel edges. Uniform, thick octavos, over 2,000 pgs. all told, including hundreds of tables and maps and other illustrations. Additionally, 2 large fold-out maps at Vol. 1's rear pastedown. These 4 volumes, complete unto themselves, represent Vols. IV-VII in a larger set called "Mammals of U.S.S.R. and Adjacent Countries" and of course focus specifically on the "Rodents" in these regions.
