See the description below from the dustwrapper flap.

Like many books of its era, this copy seems to have been protected by a brown paper cover, as there are faint Sellotape marks on the endpapers.  The cover has long since disappeared, but it has done a good job of protecting the dustwrapper underneath.

Unlike many of the voumes in the New Naturalist series, this book was never revised, though reprinted several times.
