Super octavo hardcover (VG) frontispiece loose but present; all our specials have minimal description to keep listing them viable. They are at least reading copies, complete and in reasonable condition, but usually secondhand; frequently they are superior examples. Ordering more than one book may reduce your overall postage costs.

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fair. Dust Jacket Condition: Poor. 1st Edition. 174 pages (complete). Although showing its age this is a benign and generous-hearted book. The extraordinary true journey of Huberta the Hippo from northern Natal to East London in the Eastern Cape is told with great affection and diligence by Chilvers. The dustjacket is enclosed in a clear plastic protective cover. Beneath the dj is considerably worn and torn - indeed it has been reconstructed by a previous owner with the use of brown paper. The tan polished cloth cover is sure and secure. There is some wear and scuffing. Inside, the book is dusted with foxing throughout. The contents are yet secure, assured, mild. The pages are clear, confident and genial. A still pleasing and pleasant book. fk. Our orders are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.
