What Our Customers Say...

Description

Early Edition, Publishers' Original Binding

The Reverend John Russell, affectionately known as Jack, was a parson known for his dog breeding and fox-hunting, for whom the Jack Russell Terrier was named. As well as breeding Jack Russells, he was also one of the founding members of the Kennel Club.

A new edition, being the second edition.

Written by Edward William Lewis Davies.

With an illustrated frontispiece portrait of the subject.

Condition

In the publisher's original full cloth binding. Externally generally smart, with just some slight bumping to the extremities and the head and tail of the spine. Internally, binding is occasionally tender, with a slight strain noticeable to pages 144 and 145 and the first page opposing page xii. Pages have the odd spot, with a tidemark to the frontispiece.
