Roy. 4to., First Edition, with numerous coloured and monochrome photographs (many full-page) and maps in the text; original beige cloth, backstrip lettered in green, a very good, bright, clean copy in unclipped dustwrapper, the latter a little rubbed at extremities, and lightly browned at backstrip and on (predominantly white) rear panel.
This bound volume contains the first four of the only six numbers of the Journal. 'So the New Naturalist Journal became another of the might-have-beens of the series. There would be nothing to compare with it for many years to come, not at any rate until the appearance of 'Animals' magazine in the 1960s; and not until the launch of 'British Wildlife' in 1989 has any journal bridged the divide between scientist and field naturalist half so effectively' (Marren).
