About This Item
Calcutta: The Indian Field Office, 1904. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. 2nd Edition. Oblong 16 Mo. Original light green cloth with a bright gilt title on the front. There is a repaired snag in the middle of the spine cloth, now protected in a clear mylar sleeve. Very slight edge wear' This book is usually quite loose, but I have tightened this one and added new endpapers. Although later editions of this book, intended to be an encyclopedia for the Raj hunter, are common, this edition is not. Very clean inside. Oblong format, 4 inches tall, and nearly 7 inches long. Ads for tents, guns and hunting gear, 8 AT THE REAR AND FOUR IN THE FRONT..
