Moderate wear; somewhat cocked; spine heel softened; text block edges lightly spotted; a small tear to the hinge of the upper board; previous owner's ink inscription to the flyleaf. Dustwrapper is mildly rubbed and edgeworn; a large tear to the hinge of the upper panel; now professionally protected by superior non-adhesive polypropylene film. Good to very good.

An absorbing account of the ocean mail service that plied between Britain and southern Africa for 1857 to 1977 captures the spirit of an era now gone.
