British Antarctic Survey Scientific Reports — 71 Volumes

British Antarctic Survey Scientific Reports. The reports are numbered 1 - 76, but #28-32 were never published. These are, as the general title suggests, scholarly works on penguins, seals, plankton, floating bugs, plants, geology, geography, meteorology, etc. The first 2 volumes (30 reports) are under the general title "Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey" and the balance are under the general title "British Antarctic Survey Scientific Reports." All are in FINE condition, including the uniform green hard cover bindings. All plates and maps are present. It is possible they have never been read. This is a substantial set of books weighing almost 60 pounds. The bindings are green boards with gilt titles on the spines and were done by L H Moon & Son Bookbinders, renowned bookbinders from Great Britain. Size of all volumes is 4to (12” x 10”) and they will consume approximately 1.5 lineal feet of book shelf space if stored vertically. Publisher is stated as “Published by the British Antarctic Survey”, printed in England by Headley Brothers, Ltd., London. Publication dates begin in 1953 and end in 1972. All in FINE condition inside and out.

It’s difficult to describe the substantial nature of these publications — not in just weight, but also content of information presented in written text, numerous maps (many fold-out and in color), charts (many fold-out) and b/w photographs and diagrams. Very Scarce.
