How it works

Register

  • In German
  • The copy was dedicated on the half-title (see image) some years after publication
  • A heavy book (1.1 kg)

White cloth-boards with Deutsche Schrift (Gothic Black) lettering to the upper board and spine; plain endpapers; 666 pp of text, bibliography and other appendixes; and a full-page map

  • This was perhaps the most authoritative book on South West Africa published between the world wars; it's valuable even to non-German-speakers because of its detailed map and bibliography

Despite some white damp-staining to the spine and lower boar (see images), this copy of a now 86-year-old book remains in very good condition overall - tightly bound and contents complete, unfoxed internally and unmarked except for the ink dedication
