About This Item

Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott Company, 1940. First edition. Tall octavo (24 cm); zebra patterned cloth with 'Adventure' italicized; brown top-stain; photographic endpapers; 376 pp.; 83 illustrations from photographs, dust jacket. A desirable first edition ~ first printing with 'Manufactured in the United States of America by the Haddon Craftsmen, Inc., Camden, N. J.' to copyright page. An about Near Fine copy excepting a faint ribbon of dampstaining evident to rear endpaper and pastedown; binding tight and the text clean and unmarked. In the scarce first printing dust jacket, which is unclipped ($3.50). General rubbing and wear with chipping to spine ends and flap folds with a couple of crude tape repairs to top of the rear panel; dampstaining evident to jacket verso. Good only, but serviceable and incredibly difficult to find a first printing copy with its original and unrestored dust jacket.

Reviews

On Jul 28 2017, a reader said:
I saw the Johnsons present their travel movies when I was very young. My grandparents took me, and the book was on their shelf....now on mine. I love this book and have read it many times. The story of their romance is charming, and her courage at a young age is amazing. You may often see it in decorator/design magazines, because of the beautiful zebra print cloth cover.
