Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Condition: Very Good/Good. 1956. No Edition Remarks. 103 pages. Pictorial dust jacket over green cloth. Contains black and white illustrations. Well bound and clean pages, with mild tanning and very light foxing to text block edges. Moderate tanning to free endpapers…with inscriptions to front, and occasional notes in the margins. Boards have mild shelf wear with light rubbing and corner bumping. Some light marking and sunning. Unclipped jacket (10/6 net)has light edge-wear with minor tears and chipping. Moderate tanning and creasing, with rubbing and marking. The previous owner had the interesting habit of cutting our relevant press articles and "tipping" them in to pastedown, end papers, etc. This book has this in the rear. I've left them in rather than rsik damage by removal, and to leave the additional historical context which may be of interest to the reader. In this case, one of the items is from the "Federation of Malaya", "Extract from the Panters' Chronicle July '52 - Tea in Burma and the Shan States". He also sometimes added his own notes written in pen or pencil - not often, but interesting. Clearly an academic gentleman . Acanthus (illustrator).
