Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

15 cm x 22 cm. Frontispiece, 318 pages. 22 illustrations, including frontispiece. Map for "The Red Men of Nigeria" at rear. Hardcover [publisher's original red cloth] with gilt lettering on spine. Blind tooling to front board edges. Maroon text-block trim. Very good condition with only minor signs of external wear.
