Original publisher's brown 3/4 leather binding. 5 3/4" x 7 7/8." 299 pages, complete. Beautiful red, blue, and gilt marbled covers and endpapers. Top edge gilt. Gilt lettering and decorations on spine. A very clean copy. This is a fictional adventure story although some events in the book are based off R. W. Fenn's actual experiences in Brazil. Fenn authored, typeset, proofread, and printed this entire book by himself. A caption on the back of the title page reads: "Errata. Least said, soonest mended! The Publisher humbly confesses he did not have a Dictionary in the house until the Book was half printed; and, being Author, Type-setter, Proof-reader and Printer, by lamp-light in the evenings after days of toil, he feels that no apology will be demanded by the Magnanimous Reader.".
