Item description from seller

Kelly-green cloth on boards with blind stamped title on front and crisp yellow and black lettering on spine. Book is tight, square, sharp-cornered and free of markings or flaws inside and out. Attractive and detailed map endpapers of western Java and the Udjong-Kulon region. Unclipped pictorial Dust Jacket shows original price of $9.95 and has full color photos on front and verso. No fading and very little if any scuffing or shelfwear. One small tear on top of rear. Introductory by Charles A. Lindbergh. From the publisher: "This fascinating and beautiful book combines Eliot Elisofon's personal diary of of his experiences in the Udjong Kulon Nature Reserve in the remote jungle regions of western Java with a selection of the spectacular photographs he made there. Seventeen of these photographs are reproduced here in full color and 130 in b/w. The sanctuary proved to be a photographer's paradise with its rare species of animals, among them leopards, bantengs, peacocks, lizards 5 ft. long, herons and showy white egrets, the foot-high mouse deer, and the almost extinct Javan rhinoceros. Among the wealth of stories is his account of Michael Rockefeller's tragic disappearance while on the Harvard Expedition to Dutch New Guinea, an expedition which Elisofon was also on for a time. His story clears up the popular misconception of young Rockefeller's fate." 298pp.
