The book itself is almost As New: crisp, clean and tightly bound. The DJ is fairly crisp and clean, with just a little shelf wear, though the spine, overlapping a little onto the front, is sun bleached.

This book investigates the significance of the bird in 250 beautifully reproduced works of art, both ancient and modern. Nine chapters – on such themes as the mythical bird, the Eastern bird and the domestic bird – explore in detail a rich and rewarding collection of paintings, prints, drawings and sculptures, creating a book for anyone interested in ornithology.
