AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
First edition of the book, published in 1924, is the account of the author's journeys to Central Africa and his naturalistic observations on wildlife and life, and the customs and traditions of the Ituri Pygmies, natives of the areas of the expedition. 3125 pages illustrated with 122 black-and-white photos, drawings, and a folded map of Africa.
The book is in excellent condition, the binding is perfect, the gilded parts of the cover well preserved, and the gold is bright.
Inside the pages are perfect, with no missing pages, tears, or stains; only the folded map has, in the upper left corner on the white area, a small tear of about 3.5 cm.
The book is not particularly rare, but it is rare to find it in these, almost, perfect conditions.
