About This Item
Kegan Paul, Trench, & Co., London, 1885. First Edition. Hardcover. Fair/No Jacket. 0x0x0. 587 pages plus folded maps (complete). A sturdy copy. From the library of John O Feetham (possibly, but unlikely, the later Bishop of North Queensland) whose bookplate is on the front pastedown and signed by him on the half-title page (dated: Sep 19 1890). The boards are much worn, scuffed, marked all about. The spine has much wear, cracking. The spine and the boards are sound and sure. The contents are genial, pleasing. The earlier and last pages have foxing. In general and by far, the pages are thick, clean, clear, convivial, certain, companionable and able. Please note that due to the weight of the book, should the book need be posted to the outside of South Africa, extra postal charges may be required. fk. Our orders are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.
