What Our Customers Say...

Description

First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

A fascinating account of the British invasion of Tibet in 1904, the first full account of this important historical event. 

Written by British journalist and soldier Peter Fleming. 

The first edition, first impression of this work.

Illustrated with twenty-seven full-page plates, three in-text illustrations, one double-paged map, and four full page maps. Collated and complete. 

Enclosed in the original dust wrapper. 

A library stamp to the front free-endpaper: 'Convent of Notre Dame Dowanhill'.

Condition

In the publisher's original cloth binding. Externally, lovely, with just some very light bumping to the head and tail of the spine. Original unclipped dust wrapper has some edgewear and amateur tape repair to the extremities and flyleaves. Some residue from amateur rape removal to the pastedowns. A library stamp to the front free-endpaper. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean.

Very Good Indeed
