How it works

This being the Second Revised Edition, 4th impression.

This edition broadens the scope of the original work and incorporates new research. During the many years when the authors systematically combed the Cape Platteland, they had the advantage of examining a great deal of the furniture in a domestic setting, often with butter still in the 'karring' and dung on the table legs. The authors, by incorporating this background information into the revised edition, give not only a pictorial representation of Cape country furniture, but an insight into the daily life of the rural districts; 368pp.

Condition: brown boards in good condition, edge wear with some abrasion at spine ends, gilt spine titles, residual tape marks on end-papers, top edge and end-papers spotted, contents very clean throughout, no inscriptions. The jacket is in very good condition except the spine which is creased at the ends, and chipped; some closed tears are visible along the top and bottom edges, original Adams price sticker on front flap.
