A fine copy of this large and handsome book, number 469 of 1000 in its limited edition, running to xvi + 232 pp of portrait A4 format.

The green Skivertex board coves, gilt to front and spine, have rounded corners (one with a very small rubbed spot). The quality binding befits the limited edition: thread-sewn sections, rounded back, head and tail bands and five raised spine bands. The printed endpapers show two unidentified grainy action close-ups. and includes some 140 autographs and illustrated biographies of the same number of players, captains separately, arranged alphabetically and followed by a portfolio of colour photographs of some 50 Springboks at home or outdoors in the late 1980s. The selection was made from the more than 550 rugby Springboks who represented their country over the 100-year period.
