About This Item
Nicholas Kaye. First edition published by Nicholas Kaye in 1962. This is a near fine copy. The jacket is crisp and with very little wear at all. There are some handling marks to the back panel otherwise it is excellent and hasn't been price clipped. The book is also in similar condition with only faint foxing marks to the upper text block and handling wear to the first couple of pages. This copy has been signed by BB without dedication to the title page. Overall a collectible near fine copy and rare to find signed. BB takes a long trip around the remote Scottish Highlands. He has provided 72 black and white illustrations to accompany his recollections of what he saw. A lovely book and particularly so signed and in this condition. . Near Fine. Hardcover. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 1962.
