About this Item
213 pages with a colour photo frontispiece & 48 monochrome photo illustrations + 4 maps (inc the area searched for the Abominable Snowman, and 2 line drawings. This copy is also a "signed" presentation copy "John Jackson. In a hundred ages of the Gods I could not tell thee of the glories of the Himalayas. Best wishes John". Dark gray cloth with a little lower edge creasing to page edges due to perhaps a bump? affects the first 40 or so pages slightly, the wrapper is handled and with closed splits, some creasing and loss at head and tail of spine, small sellotape repair to bottom of the spine on the inside, but sounds worse, a good wrapper still. Owner name on FFEP "Syd D. Bailey", neatly added. Octavo. 22 x 15 cm. *There is part of this Himalayan journey where the author describes the insects collected and his "part" search for the elusive Yeti, so a naturalists book as well as one of trekking through the mountains and valleys of this remote (then) part of the world, with an appendix of some discoveries. A travellers book more than a mountaineers. Seller Inventory # 9035
