This set of books is very rare
I could not find any others in the antique books on line, in libraries, or on any site.
This was part of our collection of antique books and prints but we have moved to smaller quarters, do not have a library anymore and sadly decided to sell them now.
This sale is for the volume on MAMMALS (seen on all the photos above)
