About This Item
Millwood NY / London: Kraus Reprint / The Hakluyt Society, 1967. Hardcover. cxxxii, 296p., illustrated with a frontispiece and a large folded map made for The Society. Hardbound in medium-blue cloth boards gilt, styled after the Hakluyt original. Casebinding and textblock are perfectly sound and square, cleanly and unmarked, but the map is slightly misfolded now (and perhaps was not adequately thought out by Kraus binder). Nice map, though. Laid in is a twelve-page xerox with four pages done in bright color, entitled "On Behalf of PresterJohn: The Storming of Bacanete, Haramat, Ethiopia, 2 February, 1542", corner-stapled. This xerox fascicle is thick and has slightly disturbed front hinge, where it was set. Second series no. X.
