How do you skin a bird, press a fern, pin a beetle or keep a shell from crumbling? J. E. Taylor's handy manual teaches the Victorian art of building a natural-history collection that lasts. Practical, hands-on and thorough across every branch of the field. The guide every amateur naturalist once kept on the shelf.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
