Zoo Quest to Guiana
In a very good condition. This is the 1958 Reprint Society edition with the original teal-green cloth boards. There is no dust jacket. Very clean inside, no foxing, no damage. A genuinely lovely copy of an important early book by a national treasure.
Before he was Sir David, before Life on Earth, before the voice we all know, David Attenborough was a young BBC producer flying off to British Guiana with a small team to catch animals for London Zoo. Zoo Quest to Guiana is his first book, the companion to his first television series, and it's full of the curiosity and warmth that would come to define his entire career.
