Description:
Calcutta/New Delhi: New Age Publishers Private Ltd, 1964. Hardcover. xiv, 307p., illustrated with a few plates (coins), vignette period imagery and a line-drawn map, hardbound in 10x6.5 inch papered boards titled in bold red, a blue cloth backstrip, and dust jacket. The lower edge of the casing is very abraded with lots of card showing, the backstrip has a sprinkle of spots, and the jacket is edgeworn and dirty with verso tape repairs. Text is quite good: sound, clean and unmarked. A brief publisher's note quotes the author: "During my travels in Russia and Central Asia I came in direct contact with the peoples there.." We note a personal, at times conversational tone running throughout. Rahula wrote in Hindi, translations, favored Russian-language transliterations ("The English and their pronunciation are the worst. The Germans are better..

Description:
Berkeley: University of California Press, 1990. Hardcover. xxii, 829p., illustrated with contemporary b&w snapshot photography, a vivid color section of masks, and several line maps. Levy started out in Tahiti and somehow gravitated to Kathmandu Valley. Hardbound in 9x6 inch blue cloth boards gilt and enclosed in the dust jacket. Top and tail rims of the cloth casing are crimped from handling (no tears or fray), and the foredge bears mild thumb-soil; the dj is edgeworn with small chips. Endpaper maps (dittos). The sole flaw to book itself is a faint slantways crease-line affecting preliminaries and the first dozen leaves or so, an aesthetic matter only. Good to very good copy of the true first issue. FYI, the term "Newar" is most easily thought of as a local word meaning Nepal; see pp 14-15.

Hardbound in 11x9 inch maroon cloth boards lettered and decorated in white.

Description:
Oxford: Oxford at the Clarendon Press, 1948. 31p., presswork on laid-lined paperstock, sewn pamphlet in 9x6 inch plain printed grey wraps, signatures are only partially opened (not too badly), former owner pooped out. Thread is sound, covers a little crimped and toned, clean and unmarked within, a good to very good copy. Commences, "It will, I hope, be deemed fitting that a lecture in commemoration of the work of Sir J.G. Frazer should attempt to deal with our own country's life in such a way as to bring out in some measure the deep roots of the life in a far-off past and the continuity from those times to the present''. Fleure thereupon tackles geologic history, glacial conditions during the Ice Age.

A nicely gotten-up book in skyblue cloth boards and dust jacket. The dj is mildly rubbed, find a rather interesting bookplate at half-title leaf, a very good clean copy. FYI, this ritual hunt, of ibex, from time immemorial has invited rain; it is governed with strict rules and protocol.
