Description

There are 2 different dustjackets to one identical book. The dj showing the Drakensberg is rare and probably the first iteration. This Drakensberg dj has been restored on top front corner and head of spine. The other of the Wolkberg with the mist swirling around the kop is very much more common. I can offer either or both djs. And also a copy with a colour facsimile of your specified dj. Please specify. Images 1 and 3 show front and back covers of the most usual dj; 2 and 4 show the original (?) dj; 5 shows the boards of all Struik's first editions; 2nd impressions have pictorial boards - images 1 and 3. Only Booklovers Paradise will give you, the buyer, a full descrption of what you are buying, so please support us. All books are almost perfect and would make excellent presents. The photography is stunning. . Please expect extra overseas postage.

You will find the LOCATION of our Bookstore on Google. ALL our books are thoroughly cleaned. All books with dust jackets/ wraps are completely covered in 50 or 75 micron High Density PolyEthylene (= "plastic" = archival acetate film), as are books without dust jackets costing more than US$20. Soft-covers and hard-covers without Dj s are covered in adhesive plastic. While we have neither insects nor dampness in our shop, you might find that the total plastic cover keeps both at bay. Covering the whole book means that the common edge-wear described by so many dealers is mostly absent in our books. Any "plastic" is easily removable, it is not adhered to the book nor to the dust jacket. We do not use sellotape nor any other tape which discolours. We restore books where necessary and describe ONLY EXCEPTIONS to a perfect state. Faults in expensive books are described in huge detail. WHEN RESTORED the majority of "faults'' are visible only with great difficulty and certainly NOT in an image. To avoid misleading you we include few images. Please be guided by the very full descriptions. If no faults are described in a cheaper book, please be guided by the Condition. RESTORATION SERVICE. We restore any book younger than 1800 making your grotty, broken old books look like beautifully-cared-for precious old books. DUST JACKETS IN FACSIMILE. We provide colour copies of any DJ in our stock. Please ask for quotes, images & descriptions. We pride ourselves that THIS IS A VERY SPECIAL BOOKSH0P:- THE CROSSROADS OF CIVILIZATIONS PAST; REFUGE OF ALL THE ARTS AGAINST THE RAVAGES OF TIME; AN ARMOURY OF FEARLESS TRUTH AGAINST WHISPERING RUMOUR; INCESSANT TRIUMPH OF THE RIGHT-TO-KNOW.
