Bundle of Vintage Wainwright & Bird Guide Books
This lot comprises three hardback books: ‘Wainwright in Scotland’ and ‘Coast to Coast’ both by Alfred Wainwright, alongside a Reader’s Digest ‘Book of British Birds’. Wainwright’s works are renowned for their detailed maps and charmingly illustrated guides to walking routes, particularly in the Lake District and beyond. The Reader’s Digest bird guide offers comprehensive identification information and colour illustrations of British avian species.
Condition and Collector Appeal
These books show signs of age and use, with wear to covers and spines, and some foxing to page edges. Despite this, they remain largely intact and present a wonderful opportunity for collectors of Wainwright memorabilia, bird enthusiasts, or those interested in vintage walking guides. The combination of Wainwright’s iconic style and the comprehensive bird guide makes this a unique and desirable bundle.
