Down the Long Wind Garth Christian 1963 Bird Migration Hardcover DJ

$75.00
A thoughtful vintage study of bird migration by British naturalist and conservation writer Garth Christian. Down the Long Wind examines the remarkable seasonal journeys of birds, their navigation by the sun and stars, changing migration patterns, and the developing methods used by twentieth-century birdwatchers to study their movements.

Individual chapters cover bee-eaters, jackdaws, starlings, swallows, swifts, thrushes, finches, rooks, fieldfares, redwings, skylarks, lapwings, warblers, crossbills, nightingales, nightjars, and other migratory species.

This is the 1963 Country Book Club edition, produced for sale exclusively to club members. It retains its original illustrated dust jacket, designed by Carol Barker, along with the uncommon unused Country Book Club enrollment form still attached inside the jacket.

An appealing copy for collectors of vintage ornithology, bird migration, British natural history, conservation writing, and Country Book Club editions.

Condition: Good vintage hardcover in its original dust jacket. Blue cloth boards remain clean with mild shelf wear. Binding is firm. Pages show expected age toning with occasional light foxing or spotting. A small penciled mark appears on a rear endpaper. Dust jacket shows toning, rubbing, edge wear, creasing, and several small tears and chips, particularly around the spine ends and corners. The original club enrollment form remains present. Please review all photographs for the exact condition.

Free shipping included.
