About This Item
No date - aprox 1910. (The last date given towards the end of the book is Sept 1st 1909). The initial condition of the book could have been described as reading copy only - now restored to original binding in navy blue cloth overlying half goatskin and blue cloth. 4 corners in green goatskin. Gold title rather dull on spine; On the front cover the author's name has been reworked but title is bright; b&w inset photo of Vic Falls somewhat faded and rubbed. Ex Queenstown Public Library but all faded stamps in the cnrs of the plates have been removed and no other library marks remain (I hope). 2 coloured maps of Rhodesia: 1 large folding with repair on the verso of a fold, 1 single page with a repair in lower corner. Top edge gold but worn; unfoxed but a few grubby marks and 2 sheets worn and torn. 144 b&w illustrations of which 26 are full page plates. The book and espically the photographs are fascinating: C M went from the Cape to Zanzibar and from thence by steamer to Port Said. Please see this Bookseller' s list for more Rhodesiana.

BOOKLOVERS PARADISE
You will find the LOCATION of our Bookstore on Google. ALL our books are thoroughly cleaned. All books with dust jackets/ wraps are completely covered in 50 or 75 micron High Density PolyEthylene (= "plastic" = archival acetate film), as are books without dust jackets costing more than US$20. Soft-covers and hard-covers without Dj s are covered in adhesive plastic. While we have neither insects nor dampness in our shop, you might find that the total plastic cover keeps both at bay. Covering the whole book means that the common edge-wear described by so many dealers is mostly absent in our books. Any "plastic" is easily removable, it is not adhered to the book nor to the dust jacket. We do not use sellotape nor any other tape which discolours. We restore books where necessary and describe ONLY EXCEPTIONS to a perfect state. Faults in expensive books are described in huge detail. WHEN RESTORED the majority of "faults'' are visible only with great difficulty and certainly NOT in an image. To avoid misleading you we include few images. Please be guided by the very full descriptions. If no faults are described in a cheaper book, please be guided by the Condition. RESTORATION SERVICE. We restore any book younger than 1800 making your grotty, broken old books look like beautifully-cared-for precious old books. DUST JACKETS IN FACSIMILE. We provide colour copies of any DJ in our stock. Please ask for quotes, images & descriptions. We pride ourselves that THIS IS A VERY SPECIAL BOOKSH0P:- THE CROSSROADS OF CIVILIZATIONS PAST; REFUGE OF ALL THE ARTS AGAINST THE RAVAGES OF TIME; AN ARMOURY OF FEARLESS TRUTH AGAINST WHISPERING RUMOUR; INCESSANT TRIUMPH OF THE RIGHT-TO-KNOW.
