287pp. Hardcover with price unclipped d/w.
This Howard Timmins large-text edition was mostly produced for library circulation.
Ex Cape Town City Library with usual stamps and markings. Good price unclipped d/w with some residual tape marks to fringes. Tape reinforced spine. Some scuffing to board edges. Some light foxing to a few random pages throughout the book. Paste-down to rear EP has been removed resulting in some superficial paper loss.
'Originally published in Britain in 1937, the demand for Coast of Diamonds has increased over the years and the book has virtually become unobtainable since the war. For Lawrence Green's large public this is the second of his pre-war books to be published in South Africa. His books had the same lyrical press overseas as in this country. The London Times, Illustrated London News, etc. all praised his work. As the Times Literary Supplement said: "That tireless traveller of unfrequented sea lanes lends enchantment to many a northern escapologist's winter discontent!"'
