How it works

Register

Gold, red and black pictorial dustjacket, tan paper-boards white-lettered to the spine, tan printed endpapers, xi + 224 pp of text and index on wove paper + b/w frontispiece and 6 other pp of b/w plates, all on art paper.

This book is invaluable to old and new admirers of Lawrence Green's tales of Africa - both for its biographical text and illustrations and for its complete bibliography, including the titles of his 43 books (including translations) and their years of first publication and publishers - three English, two South African and one Hungarian. 

CONDITION. The dustjacket is rubbed at the folds and chipped at the head of the spine. It is not price-clipped (R4.95). The covers are very lightly rubbed at the spine ends. The endpapers and contents, including the plates, are complete, unmarked and unfoxed.

Now 44 years old, this title is becoming scarce, particularly in the excellent condition of this copy.
