About This Item
Calcutta: The Survey Of India, 1924. 1st Edition . Soft cover. Good/No Jacket Issued. Original printed wrappers with red cloth spine. This is the catalogue updated and corrected to July 1924 as printed, but hand updated/corrected in fine red pen to 11 December 1925. The book is large format measuring 332mm tall x 250mm. It has 61 pages and many index maps including two folding ones. One index map shows Mt Everest, Makalu and Gauri Sankar with printed elevations 29002 feet, 27790 feet, and 23440 feet respectively. The covers have edge tears with one on the front being 5cm long. The book has been updated by hand in red pen mainly in the textual specification section at the rear. I did not seen any corrections on map images. These updates were almost certainly done by the publisher prior to selling this item. PHOTOS ARE OF THE ACTUAL ITEM BEING OFFERED.
