Brown cloth cover worn with rubbing, notably near corners near spine, corner bumps and some light splotches. Spine ends frayed. Name, date and minor notes to front blank pages. Blue endpapers unmarked, with some wrinkling at a crack/split at hinge of front endpapers. Text unmarked and pages intact with some edge wear and aging. Gilt title and decorations intact on cover and spine. Plum Adirondack Bibliography number 7244. Please see image. 176 pages. Note that this edition has 176 pages, fewer than the later 1882 and other Houghton, Mifflin editions, which added two chapters and which have 226 pages. (All Houghton - whether Houghton Osgood or Houghton Mifflin - editions were issued in varying cover colors - red, green, brown - but all with the same blind stamped design. The 1878 1st editons I have seen have the additional gilt design along the top and lower front edges, as seen here.)

Description:
Indianapolis: Dog Ear Publishing, January 2013. Trade Paperback. Fine. Slight reading wear to corners, otherwise pristine. Not from a library. No remainder mark. Not clipped. Not damaged. Suitable for gifting. 163 pages. The 25 authors of this book were volunteers in the first Peace Corps rural community development project in Africa: Sierra Leone, 1965-67. They are also the first group to tell a collective story of Peace Corps volunteers, anywhere. The Peace Corps was in its infancy then, and memories of John Kennedy were strong among the young volunteers. Sierra Leone was also in its infancy in the first few years after independence, before military coups and tribal warfare became common. The authors forthrightly recount their feelings of loneliness and isolation, and their frightening experiences with secret societies and witchcraft, but their uniquely optimistic "can-do" American attitude brought most through a great life experience.

London: Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme & Brown, 1823. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. pp: [viii]ix-xii [1]2-544. FIRST EDITION. Bound in brown half-leather over marbled boards, title in gilt within a red title piece. The first edition of the author's first book. William Wilson (1772-1849) inherited a substantial sum from an uncle, and decided to indulge his passion for travel. He travelled throughout Europe and The Middle East and wrote a series of books. This was his first, and it was the most popular, going through several editions. This is a good copy as all plates, including the frontispiece, have been excised. The boards show moderate wear, heavier at the spine ends. The front hinge is cracked. The text block is mainly clean with a few marks of unknown origin.
