Notes
|
1st edition/1st printing. Yellow boards with red cloth spine and gilt lettering on the spine are the binding for this clean, straight & tight book. Endpapers are illustrated with a map of Australia. There is light bumping from shelving on the spine ends and a small ding on the upper front edge. The interior is completely without marks or tears. Dust jacket is clean and bright, price intact & unclipped. Spine is sunned and there is some edgewear and a couple of rather small edge tears that are internally mended. There are two faint pen marks on the front panel and a name neatly written on the inside front flap. Including black and white photographs, maps, bibliography and index, this is a story based on a four month, intensive exploration in 1965 in which the author traveled widely in every continental state and territory of Australia. ; B&W Illustration s; 9 1/2" x 6 1/2"; 261 pages |
