Item description from seller

Second edition of volume I, first edition of volume II, 2 volumes, 8vo, pp. [6], vi, 347, [1]; volume I in original blue cloth-backed printed boards; volume II in original maroon cloth stamped in black; very good, sound and clean copies. Volume II with a London Book Co. (India) imprint. Ownership signature in each volume of "William F. Spengler, July 1962." "Spengler served his country as a Foreign Service Officer in Thailand, Norway, Pakistan and Afghanistan. During WWII, he served as a code breaker in the U.S. Army, joined the Department of State in 1950 and retired as Consul General in Lahore, Pakistan in 1976. He was a member of the Society for Preservation and Encouragement of Barber Shop Singing in America for 59 years and organized a quartet in almost every place he lived. In Kabul in the 1960s, he found interest in the ancient coins from the region and became one of the foremost authorities on the peoples who had passed through the area through the centuries. This interest in numismatics and history influenced the rest of his life. He published numerous articles, contributed and edited catalogs on world coins and co-authored two books on the Turkomans" (from his 2005 obituary as published in the Colorado Springs Gazette). Pushtu (also known as Pashto or Pushto) is one of the official languages of Afghanistan, and is also spoken in parts of northwestern Pakistan. The book remains in print to this day.
