The first edition of this scarce Sol Plaatje book in nice condition. Oblong 12mo. 98pp. Bound in the original blue cloth with black lettering. 17pp. introduction on the Bechuana. 732 Sechuana proverbs with their literal and European equivalents.
The covers have light wear with a few small abrasions, one over the spine where a sticker may have been removed. An owner’s ex-libris on the front pastedown has been partially removed and there is slight offsetting on the free endpapers. A small neat note on the Dedication page references three proverbs with Spanish parallels. Two paragraphs - one each at the start of the Preface and the start of the Introduction - have some light underlining, probably in pencil and erasable. Otherwise the book is internally clean and essentially without foxing. A very good copy.
