About this Item

Early reprint of the famous adventurer's memoirs as copyrighted by the editor in 1927. A Star Book in which the extended subtitle adds the following: "[T]he works written by himself at the age of seventy-three and the life, with such of his philosophy as is the gift of age and experience taken down here and edited by Ethelreda Lewis". Foreword by John Galsworthy. Good Plus/Good Plus. Green cloth boards with embossed design of Trader Horn on the upper cover, black lettering on the spine. Lightly bumped spine head / tail with a very small cut in the spine head cloth and an approx. 1" tear upward from the tail of the spine along the rear edge. The top edge text block has some sun / dust-darkening. Map end papers with the prior owner's initials and the date "5/22/29" in ink on the ffep. Remaining contents are clean and firmly bound, albeit somewhat age-tanned consistent with the age of the book. The illustrated dj, now in a clear jacket cover, is tanned and has a few small chips and tears along the edges. The dj's spine is also sun-darkened. Still an attractive, solid copy, and an interesting read!
