This product is a set of three valuable books focusing on avian anatomy and hematology. The first book, 'Avian Anatomy Integument Part I' by Alfred M. Lucas and Peter R. Stettenheim, was published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 1972, with the edition of Agriculture Monograph 25. The second one, 'Avian Anatomy Integument Part II' by the same authors, also published by the USDA in 1972, comes in the Agriculture Handbook 362 edition. The third book, 'Atlas of Avian Hematology' by Alfred M. Lucas and Casimir Jamroz, was published in 1961 by the USDA, and its edition is unstated. The books are in good condition. There's some rubbing and foxing on the covers and spines. You'll notice shelf and edge - wear like rounding and scuffing on edges, corners, and spine ends. The endpapers and pages have some foxing and darkening, but it doesn't affect readability. There are marks from previous owners on the front endpapers, and Volume II was a former library copy. The bindings are tight, and the pages are clean with clear illustrations.
These books are great resources for anyone interested in avian anatomy and hematology. You can use them for in - depth study, research, or just to satisfy your curiosity about birds. When handling these books, be gentle as they are old and might be a bit fragile. Avoid getting them wet or exposing them to direct sunlight for long periods, as this could damage the pages and covers. To maintain them, store them in a dry and cool place, preferably on a bookshelf. If you need to clean them, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the covers and spines. Don't use any chemicals or abrasive materials on the pages. Enjoy exploring the wonderful world of avian knowledge with these books!
