This is not a review, it is a question., 19 Oct 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mark Catesby's Natural History of America: Watercolours from the Royal Library, Windsor Castle (Hardcover)
I have an old book by Mark Catesby. Half is in French and half in English, it is supposed to one of two volumes, it is not in very good shape,and most of the plates are missing. Do you have any thing more you could tell me about this book?
