Charles Harper's Birds & Words

This lovely reissue of the highly collectible 1974 classic is a Charley Harper gem. AMMO has carefully restored all the images and reproduced BIRDS & WORDS in its entirety and in its original format. A book for every bird lover who knows there is more to bird watching than measurements, range maps, flight patterns, and lifetime lists. BIRDS & WORDS is a true reflection of Charley Harper, who was that special species of man with twinkling eyes and smile, with wit as infectiously keen and lighthearted as his paintings. "What will happen," he asked, "if a buzzard, which eats only dead meat, comes upon a possum, which plays dead when threatened? The answer has to be that the mild-mannered marsupial will win his Purple Heart- possumously."
