Hardcover with Dust Jacket. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good+. Reprint. 8vo. Pp. xv, [3], 4-235. Frontis. photo of the Ta-Shi Lama. Laden with black-and-white photographs throughout. Three maps, two folding. Appendices. Index. Bound in full blue cloth with gilt chop stamped on front board, gilt lettering on spine. In the photo-illustrated dust jacket, price-clipped but with the publisher's price decal intact on front flap. A bright copy. A stately book production commensurate with Bell's groundbreaking scholarship, first published in 1931. The accompanying photos, by Bell, are exceptional for capturing Tibet in the late 1920s. In his introduction to Heinrich Harrer's Seven Years in Tibet, Peter Fleming mentions Bell and his relationship with the 13th Dalai Lama, unusual due to Bell's status as a foreigner. Such was the trust put in Bell by the Tibetan people. Dust jacket is now housed in a removable, clear archival sleeve. .
