Reader's note

Looking for beautiful vintage books to stand out on your bookshelf? This decoratively covered edition of The New Book of Birds: An Album of Natural History by Horace G. Grosser would be a charming addition to any home library.

'They wanted to describe the fate of a thriving city laid waste and all its people gone, pictured it as a haunt of Ostriches - the birds that love loneliness and open spaces. Their doleful cry, too, was noticed. This has been said by African travellers to be easily mistaken for the lion's roar, but Canon Tristram, who travelled widely in Scripture lands, says: To my own ear it sounded more like the hoarse lowing of an ox in pain'.

Read on in this antique edition from 1909, wonderfully illustrated throughout with 12 coloured plates and numerous plates of several other kinds of birds. Just one of the many rare, stunning and obscure books available on our online vintage bookstore.
