Item description from seller

xviii, 125p., presswork on semi-glazed alkaline paperstock, profusely illustrated with b&w photos taken on-site in unmapped New Guinea, hardbound in black cloth boards titled and ruled in gilt. Rear endsheets are doublespread maps in colors. Front endsheets appear to be constituted of a cancel onlay that emphasizes the memorial function of this issue; p.125 may also be a cancel/insert. Condition: several inches of the gold title-border have flaked away, there is edgewear of extremities, but hinges are good, the text clean and unmarked. A good toi very good copy. The Boyce company advertises other items it publishes, even on this title page itself, namely "The Blade and Leger, Extra Money, Movie Romances, Illustrated South America". &c &c. The probable triviality of these other books need not impugn the item in hand, which is quite interesting; the deceased had a knack for people of every sort. He died young (and sorely missed) of an embolism.
