HARDBACK. There is no stated edition but it is assumed to be first. There is also no publication date but there is a previous owners gift inscription on the front free end paper dated 1/2/28. This copy is complete with d/w which is fragile and has some tears and pieces missing. Now in a protective cover. Other than the owners inscription this copy is unclipped and clean with only modest browning for it's age. This would appear to be a very rare book. Scans available if required.

Paperback. Condition: Fair. A history of the Abel Tasman area. About the author: Perrine Moncrieff settled in Nelson 1n 1921. In 1923 she became a foundation member of the New Zealand Native Bird Protection Society and around the same time joined the Royal Australasian Ornithologists' Union (RAOU). In 1925 Perrine wrote New Zealand birds and how to identify them. Perrine's most notable success was the establishment of the Abel Tasman National Park in 1942. She served on the park board from 1943 to 1974 and published a book on the history of the area, 'People came later', in 1965. She died at Wakapuaka, near Nelson, on 16 December 1979. This edition is signed by the author. The front cover is well-worn, but book is still in fair readable condition. Signed; cover stained, rubbed.

Dedication on verso of FFEP; "To Mr. & Mrs. de Maurey with compliments Perrine Moncrieff September 4th 1936". Also has pre4vious owner's name on verso and facing page. The former owner of this book had the interesting habit of inserting, sometimes "tipped in" - sometimes loose, newspaper articles, photos, postcards, etc relating to the book. There are a few such items in this book. There are also may be some hand written notes. Whilst you could say this is damaging the quality of the book, it also adds a lot of interesting context around the suject matter so I have not attempted to remove these items. Please ask if you would like more information or photos.
