About This Item
Animals of long ago are compared with their modern descendants in this fun volume aimed at younger readers. The descriptions and artwork of the ancient creatures provide an insight into where paleontological research was at during the late 1950s and early 1960s. A fascinating time piece. Even if the dinosaurs are not quite described in a way we would now agree with, the text is fun and the drawings detailed and commendable for its age.
Book is unusually clean and tight for its age and its presumed association with child readers! Pages are clear and bright with no tears or marks. Dust jacket is probably G+ for this book, price clipped but intact and many places exceptional. However there are creases and a couple of small tears, and two small chunks of DJ missing at the rear base. Cloth boards underneath are in very good condition. However the DJ has done its job well, protecting the contents. All now protected in professional clear book wrapper. 128 pp with many B&W drawings
