Book Description: 209pp. Hardcover with DJ. Afrikaans edition.
Book Condition: Ex school library copy with usual stamps and markings. Otherwise internally clean. Binding is good. DJ has a patch of paper missing at the top end of the spinal area and a few nicks and tears here and there along the edges, but otherwise fair to good.
The story of the Karoos of South Africa - the Great Karoo, the Little Karoo and the far corners of the North West Cape and Namaqualand\'. A highly readable account of these areas with their charming old villages and dramatic arid landscapes.
\'Karoo\' is arguably Lawrence Green\'s most popular book ever! All first editions are fast becoming collectors items. I recently counted no less than 23 English first edition \'Karoo\'s\' (some very good with DJ, and others in pretty poor condition without DJ), in ex Prof. Chris Barnard\'s (R.I.P.) private book collection! The Afrikaans edition was missing from his collection. Now becoming an increasingly hard book to find.
