TWO BOOKS: VOLUMES I & II, FIRST FOOTSTEPS IN EAST AFRICA or, AN EXPLORATION OF HARRR, MEMORIAL EDITIONS.

They are bound in brown leather with red outline on front board, and red block boxes on spines, with nice gilt titles on both the front boards and spines. Marbled inside and back covers, all papers are gilt edged. Volume I: has 209 pages, Volume II: has 276 pages. Both books are part of the "Classics of Exploration" Time Life Books, Amsterdam, Tylston and Edwards, London, reprinted and bound in 1984.

Included with each volume is a EX LIBRIS label, an overview on both sides of a one page document, and a Certificate of Authenticity which is authorised by the The Editors of Time-Life Books to verify that these two leather bound books are exact reproductions, photographically produced from rare, early editions. Two gorgeous books that would grace any stylish library.…
