Description:
Oxford: The Oxford Illustrated Press, 1990. Pictorial laminated boards has a small indentation to front and a few page corners have light creasing else clean, tight and unmarked with dustjacket which has a stain to back and is not price clipped. Twenty days after setting out from the Saharan sand dunes of the Erg Chebbi desert in the far south-eastern corner of Morocco, Chris Bradley, Matt Dickinson and Nick Crane arrived at the Atlantic resort of Agadir. En route they traversed the entire length of the High Atlas mountains by mountainbike, which took the trio on a 1,200 kilometre route over 14 passes, involved a total of 15,300 metres of climbing and included a bicycle ascent of North Africa's highest peak, 4,167 metre Mount Toubkal. Nearly half the route was along rough mule tracks and little used mountain footpaths with the riders contending with sand, rock, ice and snow - a true test for both bikes and riders. Fully illustrated. **** NOT EX LIB **** 24. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very… Read More

Description:
London: Harper Collins, 2005. A Fine unmarked copy with Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. xiv + 298 pages. 45 illustrations. 1 map. Glossary. Second impression. When Philip Marsden first went to Ethiopia in 1982, it changed the direction of his life. What he saw of its astonishing antiquity, its raw medieval Christianity, its extremes of brutality and grace produced in him a restless curiosity and made him a writer. But Ethiopia at that time was torn apart by civil war, and the ancient heartland of the north was closed off. 20 years later,Marsden returned and the book is the account of a journey deferred. L. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Description:
London: Hamish Hamilton, 1996. A near Fine unmarked copy with no inscriptions (Fine apart from some light foxing to top and fore edges) with Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. 472 pages. 23 illustrations. 3 maps. Ostensibly a quest for Mokele-mbembe, the Congo dinosaur (whose secret becomes clear), this story of travel through the jungles and swamp forests of the northern Congo is Tolstoyan in its depth, scope and range of characters, and as vivid as Nabokov in its image and detail. A portrait of a country, it is alive with natural history, it is a search for the meaning of sorcery, the purpose of religion (and a celebration of the comfort and mysteries of science), it is also an adventure told with great narrative force. Of course there is a darker side to the Congo, and that too is recorded here. PLEASE NOTE: A HEAVY VOLUME OF 0.85 KILO UNPACKED WEIGHT WHICH MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL SHIPPING COST D4A. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
