About This Item
Farrar, Straus, and Giroux, 1970. first edition. near fine: bright, sharp corners, clean text, tight binding, some wear to edges of text block/very good: age wear and rubbing, NOT price clipped ($8.95). Octavo 414pp. from rear cover: "Mr. Bloodworth has now succeeded in An Eye for the Dragon, in bringing to life the exotic and polyglot section of the globe known as Southeast Asia. His credentials for this task are impressive: as an Englishman, he is associated with a country that no longer participates in the affairs of Southeast Asia, and thus he can move about freely without being suspected of any motive other than his insatiable curiosity." #00270.
