The Gift: Forms and Functions of Exchange in Archaic Societies

Translated by Ian Cunnison. With an Introduction by E.E. Evans-Pritchard. First edition in English. From The Kristine Mann library with some wear from sticker removal - spine of DJ scuffed at the very bottom, front free end-paper has the word "withdrawn" in black ink and a printed paper taped on with a closed tear next to tape, last endpaper has a large loss in the middle where a sticker was removed. There is a library stamp to the bottom of the title page and the last page of notes. Dust-jacket is otherwise very well-preserved with minimal edge-wear, minor color-fading. Blue cloth boards super clean and bright with sharp corners. Interior is evenly age-toned and aside from endpapers described above, very clean and crisp. Binding solid but loosening at the last 2 signatures, paste-down and back board still securely attached.
