Book Description

Safari Adventure by Willard Price (Jonathan Cape, 1st edition 1966). Hardback. Publisher’s turquoise faux-cloth with title to spine and illustration to front board; top edge of page-block stained grey-blue. In a dustwrapper priced 16 shillings to front flap, and with the usual Cape clipping to all corners. pp 190, [2], including b/w illustrations. Size: 8 x 5.5 inches approx. (202mm x 140mm). Dustwrapper rubbed and worn to spine ends, corner tips, and flap folds; top and bottom edges stained with aged sellotape glue residue, especially noticeable to verso; a little dusty and marked in places; slightly darkened to spine. Boards and spine generally very clean and bright, just a light shadow/offsetting to tail of spine from old sellotape to dustwrapper. Endpapers a touch foxed and toned, some sellotape staining/offsetting to bottom edge; occasional foxing and dustiness to pages but generally very clean throughout; edges of page-block a little spotted and age toned. Nonetheless, remaining a nice, clean copy – presenting well in its dustwrapper.
