Item description from seller

First edition, first impression, aiming to leave the reader "with a mental picture of a happy, peaceful, and prosperous country, bathed in perpetual sunshine and washed by kindly, if at times violent, rains: a country of bewildering beauty and colour, and of infinite variety in all forms of life" (p. 29). The Malayan Information Agency produced a number of publications in the 1930s to inform the British public about one of the British Empire's more distant colonial possessions. A section describes the rearing of rubber plants at Kew Gardens for transportation to Ceylon and onwards to the Malayan Peninsula. Octavo, pp. 30. Original illustrated wrappers, wire-stitched as issued, front cover lettered in black, rear wrapper with maps of on recto and verso. Covers and contents bright, rear cover with small area of residue adhesive tape and skinning, staples rusting with staining in gutter throughout, pp. 13-16 neatly tipped in, A very good copy.
