8vo, original cloth, bevel edges, [xxiv], 192pp. With five chromolithograph plates handsomely printed on thick paper, 6 etchings, and numerous other illustrations in line. Folding map inserted at page 186. The Index calls for a single map leaf of Luebo Station to face page 64, but it actually appears later, between pp. 92-93. Ex-lib. With small, discreet library stamps and small bookplate inside front cover. A remarkable record of the author's journey up the Kasai River, tasked with several important objectives, one of them including the stopping of slave trading in the Luebo District. First American Edition. Nearly a Very Good copy.

Terms of sale
CWO, in U.S. funds. Libraries only may be billed. $ 8.95 Priority Mail postage and handling for the first volume: $5.00 for each succeeding volume. Foreign orders shipped via Global Priority Mail, flat rate at cost, or via Air Mail. Inquire, if uncertain, about the use of Global Priority on heavier books or multi-volume sets. If need be, telephone me at 1-(413)-773-5811, for clarifications. Because of the implemented EPR Registration protocols required on sales and shipments to France and Germany, I may soon be cancelling all orders to be sent to either of those two countries: the volume of sales made there in the course of a calendar year do not justify my spending the time and energy needed to register and possibly to pay the fees which shall likely follow.
Shipping terms
Shipping costs are based on books weighing 2.2 LB, or 1 KG. If your book order is heavy or oversized, we may contact you to let you know extra shipping is required.
