Please view our photographs. The book Birds of Prey by Michael Everett, published by Orbis (1975), in “Good” condition holds an estimated secondary market value of £12.00. It is widely available across major secondhand book networks, meaning its price is primarily driven by specific condition nuances rather than overall rarity.

Market Valuation Factors

• Pricing Range: Expected retail listings fall between £10.00 and £12.00 on specialist platforms like AbeBooks and Biblio UK.

• Dust Jacket Presence: If your copy retains its original dust jacket without heavy edge tears, it sits closer to the higher end of the range.

• Condition Checklist: “Good” condition generally implies the book has complete pages and a solid binding, though it may exhibit typical shelf wear, light spine fading, or previous owner signatures on the flyleaf.

Book Overview & Significance

• Content Focus: The book documents the detailed evolution, physical traits, hunting behaviors, and migration habits of various bird-of-prey genera.

• Visual Presentation: This large, heavy format (approx. 9.6 x 12.4 inches) showcases over 130 full-colour vintage photographs celebrating global raptor species.

• Collectibility: This 1975 London edition is the original first print run of the book. While visually stunning, Orbis printed a high volume of these nature books, so it serves more as an excellent reading copy or display piece than a rare investment asset.
