What Our Customers Say...

Description

Publishers' Original Binding

Fourth edition.

In the publisher's original green cloth binding.

Featuring useful in-text illustrations.

With publisher's advertisements to the front and rear endpapers.

From significant English explorer and anthropologist Francis Galton. First published in 1855, The Art of Travel aims to instruct the budding explorer on the principles of travel. Chapter titles include "Medicine", "Climbing and Mountaineering", "Clothing", "Fire" and "Food".

Condition

In publisher's original green cloth binding. Externally, very smart. Slight bumping and rubbing resulting in minor loss of cloth to the spine and spine tips. The odd mark to both boards. Internally, firmly bound. Pages generally bright and clean with spotting heavier to the first and last few pages.

Very Good Indeed
