New Naturalist
|
|
The New Naturalist books are a series published by Collins in the United Kingdom, on a variety of natural history topics. Being a numbered series, with a very low print run for some volumes, they are highly collectable and second-hand copies of the rarer volumes, in very good condition, can command high prices. The series is on-going.
A parallel series of Monographs was also published, but there have been no additions since 1971.
Many of the jacket illustrations are by Robert Gilmore.
Volume 82, The New Naturalists, described the series to date, with author biographies and a guide to collecting.
