About This Item
Macmillan and Co, London, 1893. First Edition. Hardcover. Good/No Jacket. 340 pages (complete). A placid copy. The green boards are worn about all edges, corners and seams. They are scuffed, marked from storage and handling. The spine has been burnished by handling; there is wear to the head, foot, body. It is fit. Despite all of these distractions, the boards are steady. The contents are benign. There are several previous owner stamps and signatures on the early pages. There is foxing fore and aft. The contents do have genial and general evidence of use throughout. There are occasional age-related, storage-related marks. The contents are amiable, comfortable, clean and clear, amenable, evocative and affectionate, even a little breathless at times! ("Of [Mr Selous] it is impossible to remember anything but his eyes, which are extraordinarily clear and limpid..."). fk. Our orders are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.
