About This Item
Sydney: Pacific Publications Limited. Very Good. 1935. First Edition. Hardcover. (pictorial blue-and-black cloth; no dust jacket) [modest shelfwear, very slight bumping to a couple of corners, a touch of fading to spine coth, a couple of tiny stains on rear cover]. (B&W photographs, ads, fold-out map) "In the preparation of this material the Author has not only drawn on his own experience -- obtained during more than twenty years of residence and travel among the islands of the Eastern Pacific -- but also has had recourse to the most reliable authorities of the past and present. So far as is known, no previous attempt has been made to produce a work of this sort on French Oceania." (The text is entirely in English except for the Preface, by the Governor of French Oceania, which is presented in both French and in English translation.) .
