161pp. Original cloth hardcover with original 16/-. price unclipped DW. Map illustrations to EP's and B/W illustrations from early photos inside.

The DW has two tape repaired tears and the spine-ends are tatty. The cloth hard-cover is in extremely good condition! There is some light scattered foxing to some of the inner pages, mostly confined to the illustrated sections and EP's. Previous owner's name is neatly penned to front and back free EP's.

"Among all the rivers of Southern Africa, none can surpass the Vaal for sheer romance. Here, for close on a hundred years, diggers - professional and amateur - have recovered fabulous wealth or met with abject failure. 'RIVER OF DIAMONDS' brings to light, as only Eric Rosenthal knows how to do, these strange and unexpected facts in our midst."
