Los Angeles, Ca. : University of California Press, Date: 2000. First Edition . Hardcover (Original Cloth). Near Fine Condition/Good. A4 (300 x 210mm approx.). Binding is tight, cover and spine fully intact Text body is clean and free from previous owner annotation, underlining and highlighting No foxing in this copy Edges are all neat and clean A history of British butterflies cannot be separated from that of their collectors, since our knowledge of them is the result of four hundred years of collection and study.

Appendixes list all the British and Irish butterflies with their earlier, often confusing and sometimes fanciful, vernacular names; and provide a chronological account of entomological societies, publications and ...
