A Popular History of British Crustacea; Comprising a Familiar Account of their Classification and Habits.
Published 1857, London by Reeve and Benham.
358 pages. Text in English. Complete with 20 lovely hand colored plates.

Attractive antiquarian 1/2 leather binding, smooth spine, gilt bands & compartment decorations, gilt title lettering, marbled covers, edges, and end pages.

Book is physically old and shows some signs of handling and time. Partial loss of spine leather, please see photos.

Binding well age worn but still appealing, top section of spine leather missing, leather and joints scuffed and rubbed, remains overall attractive as an object from the middle 19th century.

Text block paper is gently age toned as typical, internally book remains mostly clean, tight and sound. A book which has been taken care of but may/ does not look like new.

Still attractive on the shelf. Book displays a pleasing and unique age patina and is in rather nice antiquarian condition, any age flaws seem easy to overlook or forgive. 

Please review photos for more detailed attempt to present this uncommon color plate book as it survives. 

We often over-describe any flaws that many sellers would not even bother to mention since most people would overlook them as minor and unworthy of comment. Many people tell us the books they receive from us are nicer in person than they appears on the screen. We want you to be clear about what you are buying, so we take numerous photos and try to describe it openly and honestly.
