By CHESTER A. REED, B. S.
This will undoubtedly be THE BIRD BOOK of the year. It is authentic. The
author KNOWS birds. He has studied them for thirty years—in the hand, for
plumage, and in their haunts, for habits. He has studied them in their
homes and has photographed hundreds as they were actually feeding their
young. Besides being able to write about these things in an interesting
and instructive manner, he is classed as one of the foremost bird artists
in America. This rare combination of Artist-Author-Naturalist has
produced, in “Birds of Eastern North America,” the ultimate bird book.
The descriptive text gives the important and characteristic features in
the lives of the various species.
The illustrations—well, there are 408 PICTURES IN NATURAL COLORS; they
show practically every species, including male, female and young when the
plumages differ, and they are perfectly made by the best process. No
other one bird book ever had anywhere near as many accurately colored
pictures.
Bound in cloth, handsomely illuminated in gold; 464 pages (4½ × 6½); 408
colored illustrations; every bird described and pictured.
$3.00 net; postage 15c.
