About This Item
This is a perfect first edition of Great Rivers of Europe, compiled and edited by the English historian Alan Bullock (Lord Bullock of Leafield, founder of St Catherine's College, Oxford and editor of the Oxford History of Modern Europe).
It is a historical and physical survey of the ten great rivers of Europe: the Danube, Elbe, Loire, Po, Rhine, Seine, Tagus, Thames, Tiber and the Volga.
It is a large book--12" x 11" x 1 1/4". 292 pages and packed with photographs, maps, and illustrations.
It was published in London in 1966. The books were shipped to the US, where they were marketed by the International Book Society and Time Life Books. It comes in a navy blue slip case and those company names are stamped on it; they do not appear in the book though.
There are a few bumps to the slip case, nothing major.
The book is plain gray tweed boards with gold lettering on the spine. I don't think it has been read; both the book and dust jacket are in perfect condition.
