How it works

Register

While primarily an ethnological study of the Kasai people, Simpson writes well of the surrounding country. He took time from his observations to hunt buffalo and hippopotamus on the Kwilu River at Pana. There is an excellent colored plate of the author bagging his buffalo. Green cloth with bright gilt titles on spine and upper board, bright tipped-in native vignette on the upper board. Original endpapers firm and tight. Well illustrated with colored plates and b&w photo plates. Nice folding map at the rear. First U.S. edition published from the British sheets.
