Fine condition. "Since Barrier of Spears was first published in 1973 there have been considerable moves towards conservation of the Drakensberg - most of it is now a World Heritage Site. The intervening years have seen advances in knowledge, scientific names have changed, and management and its criteria have been radically altered. All these developments are incorporated by James Byrom in this fully revised edition. ... More than 30 years ago the Mountain Club of South Africa Journal described Barrier of Spears as 'more than a book. It is a monument'. We are sure that you will agree!" .
