Clipped but otherwise complete and well repaired dustjacket; very good paper board covers, gilt embossed design to front and lettering to spine; plain endpapers with name on front paste-down covered with a while label, ex libris label (illustrated) on front free endpaper and back endpapers clean; vii + 248 pp including index + 12 pp of b/w plates, mostly from the 1890s but one close to the date of the book showing the Johannesburg city centre from the north (Berea) before the taller building were built and with the then splendid Joubert Park in middle ground.
A desirable copy of one of the better Johannesburg histories that 50 years after its publication is not frequently seen.
