Description:
London: Chapman and Hall, 1892. Book. Illus. by Illustrations and Map. Very Good. Hardcover. Stated 2nd Edition. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Very good original brown cloth with an oriental red design across the front. Some soiled and edgewear, with a dull gilt title on the spine. Inside, remarkably this copy has never been read. Some pages were uncut at the top or foreedge, and I have just cut them all. Very clean and tight, no foxing or stains. No prior owner marks. Pages (x including the half title), 365. Most entrepid travellers of this age profess to be enthralled or romantic in prose about their courage and what they have done. Not Mr. de Windt. Much on Siberia and Mongolia. Protected in a clear, mylar dustjacket. As with the first edition, only 750 copies were produced for this second edition. Thus, rather scarce..

Norwalk: Easton Press, 1992. Book. Illus. by Dan Beard, A.B. Frost, B.W. Clinedinst, Frederick Dielman, Peter Newell, F.M. Seinor, T.J. Fogarty, C.H. Warren, A.G. Reinhart, F. Berkeley Smith, C. Allan Gilbert, and photographs. Very Good. Leather. 1st thus.. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. First published in 1897, after a tour of the British Empire in 1895. Contains narratives critical of the usual Twain targets of racism and imperialism, as well as his keen insights into the inconsistent and puzzling ways of people and their activities. Also includes some fiction masquerading as part of the narrative, but not intended to fool anyone as being real. Blue leather w/gilt decorations to covers, gilt lettering/decorations to spine, raised bands, gilt edges, 712 pages, ribbon bookmark. Scuffed/scratched/flaked gilt to all three edges, otherwise only light general wear. This weighs more than the average book, so additional postage will probably be required..

Description:
Indianapolis: Dog Ear Publishing, January 2013. Trade Paperback. Fine. Slight reading wear to corners, otherwise pristine. Not from a library. No remainder mark. Not clipped. Not damaged. Suitable for gifting. 163 pages. The 25 authors of this book were volunteers in the first Peace Corps rural community development project in Africa: Sierra Leone, 1965-67. They are also the first group to tell a collective story of Peace Corps volunteers, anywhere. The Peace Corps was in its infancy then, and memories of John Kennedy were strong among the young volunteers. Sierra Leone was also in its infancy in the first few years after independence, before military coups and tribal warfare became common. The authors forthrightly recount their feelings of loneliness and isolation, and their frightening experiences with secret societies and witchcraft, but their uniquely optimistic "can-do" American attitude brought most through a great life experience.
