About This Item

London: Methuen & Co Ltd, 1957. First Edition . Cloth. Fair/No Jacket. 1957 FIRST UK EDITION. Original tan cloth with red lettering spine. LACKING the dust jacket. Very clean covers with no fading or marks. However, the book's text block was obviously exposed to severe moisture since the pages have slight warping (not bad), and two of the photo plate (page 136) have been stuck together (now harshly opened) resulting in a tear in one leaf and some scrappy loss at separation points --- see photo. Otherwise the book is solid and is a great reading/salvage copy. Pages have no staining or tidelines, no foxing, binding is tight, reading copy with all pages and plates. The book measures 222mm tall x 140mm and has 196 pages, 4 color & 33 b/w photos, 2 maps, appendix. PHOTOS ARE OF THE ACTUAL BOOK BEING OFFERED (NOT STOCK PHOTOS). More photos available upon request.
