Listing description

Product description

Lot: Two large Reader’s Digest hardback atlases offered together — the illustrated Atlas of Wildlife with its pictorial dust jacket and a cloth-covered Atlas of the World. The strongest visible features are the colourful lion cover on the Atlas of Wildlife and the map-patterned cloth boards of the Atlas of the World. Photographs show intact spines, scuffed covers, bumped corners and a dust jacket with chips/tears at the top edge and creased, lifted lower edge.

These are ideal as reference or display pieces for collectors of illustrated atlases, classrooms, study corners, staged photography or coffee-table use where strong imagery is wanted despite shelf wear. They will suit buyers who need intact, readable atlases for casual reference or decorative use rather than fine-condition collectibles.
