Antique Rabbit Book

I was perusing eBay not long ago trying to find a vintage book for hubby that he has wanted for some time.  While looking I came across a vintage 1948 edition of Rabbits by Herbert S. Zim and decided to purchase it for myself.  When it arrived the other day I was pleasantly surprised by the lovely illustrations done by Joy Buba and the inclusion of information devoted to the angora rabbit.  While seeking to learn more about the author I discovered that he wrote dozens of the golden nature guides of which I have probably ten.  My brother and I referred often to those books as children and seemingly learned everything we knew about natural history at that point from Zim's books.  Here are a few of the pages for your viewing pleasure. Oh and I did find the vintage book for hubby and gave it to him for Valentines Day. He was delighted.
