Payne-Gallwey was a passionate hunter and wrote many works on the sport.

Condition

In the publisher's original cloth. Externally very smart with the odd slight mark to the boards, bumping to the extremities and a very small closed tear to the rear of the spine. Internally, a front blank and pp. xiii disbound but present with front hinge tender after the endpapers, otherwise firmly bound. Pages generally bright with occasional light spotting.

Very Good Indeed
