EXTINCT BOIDS
Illustrated by Ralph Steadman
Published by Bloomsbury. 1st. 2012
Fine condition in a slightly better than very good dustwrapper. Ralph's paintings feature unique interpretations of well-known birds like the Great Auk along with less familiar ones like the Snail-eating Coua and bizarre beasts including the Long-legged Shortwing. Based on emails, diary entries and phone conversations, Ceri's accompanying text provides a running commentary, detailing the unfolding madness behind the creation of each piece in Ralph's extraordinary work. Large heavy format 14 x 10". Orange boards with silver titles and vignette. Illustrated endpapers. Colour illustrations. Unpaginated.
Minimal bumping to spine and corners. Dustwrapper is a little edge worn and very slightly grubby. A lovely copy.
