The green cloth-boards, gilt to front and spine, are a lightly rubbed and frayed at all he usual places. The binding remains tight. The plain endpapers are as those for the previous lot. The xiii + 110 pp of illustrated text and list of subscribers are unmarked and undiscoloured.

In the immediate post-world war years, coffee-table books were not as common as they later became, but this is a good early one, with the ratio of popular history and philately nicely balanced. This time the foreword is by Sir Evelyn Baring, High Commissioner for the United Kingdom, Bechuanaland (and Basutoland and Swaziland).
