BIRDS OF THE WEST INDIES An Account with full descriptions of all the birds known to occur or to have occurred on the West Indian Islands BY  JAMES BOND Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia Waverly Press 1936 James Bond was an American Ornithologist and research associate in vertebrate zoology at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. He made an intensive study of the birds of the West Indies from 1926 - 1936, and produced this 456 pages book.  Eleven years later, in 1947, Bond published it as the "Field Guide to Birds of the West Indies" (a 257 pages book, see my eBay store. I also have a copy for sale). If you are wondering, Ian Fleming stole the "James Bond" name and used it for his famous Agent 007. This IS NOT an ex-library book. Hard cover no DJ. FIRST EDITION AND FIRST (AND ONLY) PRINTING OF THIS EDITION The book is in good condition, a little browning around the edges, and two of the pages of warblers have come away from the binding, however it is in a shape that it obviously was never taken in the field trips to see birds. A map of the west indies adorns the end pages and inside cover. A beautiful color frontispiece of the Cuban Tody, one of the smallest birds in the world is very attractive.   Truly a RARE book and difficult to find. ******************************************************************************************        Visit my eBay Store West Indian Treasures to see more items not listed in the regular eBay!!
