Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. New edition. This is one of a couple of dozen or so titles published by this remarkable man, mostly between the 20's and 50's, and mostly recounting the adventurous expeditions he went on during his 50 years as an explorer, botanist and plant collector. First published by Gollancz in 1930, this book is illustrated with sepia photographs, and comes with Preface, Appendix and Index. Minerva Press also re-issued another of Kingdon-Ward's books, "The Land of the Blue Poppy". It has a satisfyingly solid and old-fashioned feel, this book, with its green cloth and stained top edge, hefty paper stock, sepia photographs and good dark print. This copy is near fine in a very good dust jacket indeed with wear to top of spine and the ghost of a label on front panel. Seller Inventory # 000305
