About This Item
London: Oxford University Press for the International Institute of African Languages & Cultures, 1946. 2nd printing (1st-1942) . Dark Blue Cloth. VG-Fine/Good (-). 14 Cms x 22 Cms. f/piece+xv+420+2 unf.maps, 17 photo-plates ex-pagination each with 2 images, occ. text diagram; internally clean, tight and unmarked bar brown strips to outer sides of endpapers off-set from jacket wraparounds, covers clean & unworn but bottom spine just slightly faded; clipped jacket clean but browning to spine and edges, chip top spine just missing title, bottom spine also rubbed and has what appears to be a faint tape ghost and black mark (will add protective sleeve when ordered). It is actually a longstanding bone of bibliographic contention whether a 2nd reprinting is still a 1st edition ! A very nice copy of this classic study of the culture, economics and social relations of the Nupe. Although jacket is faulty it seems that jackets in any condition are very scarce. Note: quoted non-UK shipping rates are calculated for 500-700 gram net weight, cost will be modified up or down as appropriate outside this range.
