We confess we fell in love with the illustrations and the graphics, but it's brilliant to read Darwin's original text as he traveled the earth studying all creatures' place in the food chain and their origins. This copy comes with it's original slip case and the still in perfect condition "Sandglass", which was an insert pamphlet of the original Heritage press describing the choice of the book and hints to upcoming projects.
