M Achille Comte Benjamin Clarke translator
The Book of Birds: edited and abridged from the text of Buffon
London : R Tyas 1841 A fair copy in contemporary half leather binding with marbled boards and marbled page edges. With 38 pages of delicate hand coloured engravings. This work is scarce particularly because the paper used is very prone to acid decay. The binding has compartments to spine and gilt titles. Internally there is an armorial bookplate of Walter Somerville Gurney to the front pastedown. With half title black and white decorative title page and plain title page; 292 pages of text; and publisher's advertisements at the rear. The plates are tissue-guarded and have several bird images per plate - many grouped in an attempt to show how they would be in a natural setting. The binding is rubbed to all surfaces and there is wear to corners and spine joints. There is a small tear at the top of the spine. Internally the endpapers are marbled and the book block is splitting from the binding at the front endpaper - which could be easily repaired. The preliminaries and title pages are loose. There is an ink number written on a blank preliminary page. The text pages generally have light brown toning. The plates are very clean and bright. There is very occasional spotting. R Tyas hardcover

Tastes of Idaho Cookbook
139 pages. Idaho's fabulous resources, from its wild bounties and rich agricultural produce, inspired the recipes that appear in these pages. The intent is to help cooks make the most of what nature has provided and what Idahoans have harvested, so the recipes in this book are not of uniform size; some are as old as the state itself while others were developed for this book. Covers wild game and game birds as well as domestic meats, trout, catfish, bass and most other fish caught in Idaho's 16,000 miles of fish streams and lakes. Idaho's famous potatoes, beans, dried split peas and lentils, its wild rice, fruits and home-garden vegetables are showcased by recipes contributed by people throughout the state to marke Idaho's hundredth year of abundant good life. Top 1/3 of title page removed. Unmarked but for a bit of writing on back of last page. Creasing to bottom of back cover, otherwise average wear. Book

Macdonald, Helen
H is for Hawk
Large octavo in illus black and beige jacket; 300 pages ; 22 cm Includes bibliographical references. "An award-winning best-seller from the UK recounts how the author, an experienced falconer grieving the sudden death of her father, endeavored to train for the first time a dangerous goshawk predator as part of her personal recovery. "As a child Helen Macdonald was determined to become a falconer. She learned the arcane terminology and read all the classic books, including T.H. White's tortured masterpiece, The Goshawk, which describes White's struggle to train a hawk as a spiritual contest. When her father dies and she is knocked sideways by grief, she becomes obsessed with the idea of training her own goshawk. She buys Mabel ... on a Scottish quayside and takes her home to Cambridge. Then she fills the freezer with hawk food and unplugs the phone, ready to embark on the long, strange business of trying to train this wildest of animals." || Contents: Patience -- Lost -- Small worlds -- Mr White -- Holding tight -- The box of stars -- Invisibility -- The Rembrandt interior -- The rite of passage -- Darkness -- Leaving home -- Outlaws -- Alice, falling -- The line -- For whom the bell -- Rain -- Heat -- Flying free -- Extinction -- Hiding -- Fear -- Apple day -- Memorial -- Drugs -- Magical places -- The flight of time -- The new world -- Winter histories -- Enter spring -- The moving earth. || Hawks.
