Education & Reference Health & Medicine Antiquarian & Collectable
T.G. Hungerford’s 1964 Veterinary Physicians Index is a vintage Australian reference that distills mid-century veterinary knowledge into one compact hardcover. Collectors of antiquarian animal-care titles prize the book for its concise drug dosages, surgical notes, and species-specific guidance rarely found in modern texts.
The 1964 first edition arrives with its original dust jacket, now chipped and torn yet still protecting the clean, unmarked pages inside. A tight binding and crisp, dog-ear-free leaves make it sturdy for reading or display, while the jacket’s wear places the price within reach for budget-minded enthusiasts.
Ideal for veterinarians, farmers, or students of veterinary medicine, this slim volume doubles as a snapshot of Australian agricultural practice during the 1960s. Young adults curious about animal welfare and seasoned practitioners seeking historical protocols will find the book both informative and nostalgic.
