Zustand: Sehr gut. Stapled photocopies, 41 plus 43 pages, each with the 2 illustrations, very good condition. The copy of the 43 page edition is slightly enlarged and probably almost contemporary, very clean and professionally made. Tharchin printed 250 copies of this book before Prince Peter proofread it and dismantled afterwards the type. The Prince was quite furious about it as can be inferred from a letter sent by him in August 1954 to Tharchin. Fader, in his biography of Tharchin, A True Son of Tibet, quotes this letter in full (compare vol. III, p. 675). According to this the prince allowed Tharchin to sell the defective copies himself but asked to be provided with further 250 copies in corrected form, which were published on 10 November 1954. Tharchin had to set the type new so these two versions are actually separate publications. The alternative edition has 43 pages because of the different typesetting. According to Fader this present, 41 page edition is the final one. Comparing them this is not evident for us. E.g. the note by the author about transcription used by him on p. 8 in the 43 page edition is printed in our point of view clearer than in the 41 page edition (there on p. 7). Both editions are rare. Despite his announcement in the mentioned letter, the Prince seems to distrubuted very few copies to libraries (or they were not appreciative). We find copies of the 41 page edition at University of Bonn, Regensburg, Berlin, Oxford University and Canberra and copies of the 43 page edition at Copenhagen, Tibet Institut Rikon, Leiden, University of California, Seattle and Columbia University only.

Presentation copy, inscribed by Prince Peter on the title page and dated 1941. This is his first book, and OCLC lists no others. Prince Peter of Greece and Denmark (1908-1980) "was a Greek prince, soldier and anthropologist specializing in Tibetan culture and polyandry. With his wife Irina Aleksandrovna Ovtchinnikova, Prince Peter embarked on a voyage to Asia in September 1937. The party passed through Syria and Persia before reaching British India, in search of a tribe that Peter could study. They arrived in what is now Pakistan in early 1938, and Peter conducted research in the regions of Lahore, Kulu, Leh, and Srinagar . Wishing to avoid the Himalayan winter, they moved to South India and spent time with the Toda people. They visited the Nilgiris district, Madras, Kalimpong and finally Ceylon. Throughout the entire journey, Peter focused his attention on the study of polyandry" (Wikipedia). Princeton only in OCLC.…
