Minor edge and corner wear; no dj; lightly scuffed and scratched; corners are gently bumped and rubbed; some light shelf wear; overall a very crisp and clean used copy! Blue boards with gilt lettering on the spine. Mapped endpapers. 148 very clean unmarked and uncreased historical and informative pages nicely enhanced by black and white photographs and illustrations!

Both the explorer and his work have deserved better treatment that they have received." ---- from the Preface.…
