About This Item
Singapore: Oxford University Press, 1984. Reprint. Paperback. Very Good. First published in 1954, this is one of the first more balanced biographies of Sir Stamford Raffles. The author's interest in his subject started when he was based in Singapore as, inter alia, the chairman of the Straits Steamship Company. After he retired, he made a point of collecting everything he could about Raffles, particularly Dutch sources, which had never been consulted in biographies prior to this one. Very Good Paperback Reprint 788 pages. Weight 1.2kg Post free within Malaysia but will incur additional postage charges when posted elsewhere. There is a bit of cover wear including a small slit of 1 cm or so at the top of the spine. The binding is tight, the text clear and there is mild tanning of the pages.

About The Penang Bookshelf
The Penang Bookshelf was set up in mid 2010 principally to introduce Malaysian residents to the variety of books there is available about the country both past and present. We only stock fiction and non-fiction related to Malaysia and the rest of Asia. Much of our current stock of over a thousand different titles is not available in Malaysia. Conversely much of our stock published in Malaysia is difficult to find outside the country. So if there\'s something Malaysia related that you\'re looking for, do please contact us and we\'ll do our best to help. At present details of most of our stock is not on line; we hope it will be eventually!
