Description:
Leipzig: Bernhard Tauchnitz, 1903. Book. Very Good. 3/4 Leather. Later Reprint. 16mo - over 5¾ - 6¾" tall. As customary, this is a rebinding of the Tauchnitz reprint, this time in 3/4 brown morocco, with brown boards and raised bands on the spine. Fresh gilt title. Slight wear at the corners and the spine is not faded. Very clean and tight inside, with no prior owner marks. This might have been a library book, as there is a slight scar at the back inside board, where something has been removed. No other marks inside or out. No foxing and no browning to the paper. No evidence of the publication year after 1903, but probably 1910s or 1920s. Quiller-Couch was a prolific novelist, knighted in 1910, also known for his Oxford Book of English Verse, 1250-1900..

London: Murray, 1873. Book. Illus. by 11 Maps and 29 Plans, 7 Views, complete. Good. Cloth. 4th Edition. 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall. Limp red cloth in imitation of the German Baedeker guides. John Murray was the leading publisher of travel books in English at this time. The 1872 advertisements are interesting, but 30 pages have been torn out in the middle of the adverts. This is a thorough revision of the first editions by the leading Arabist, Sir Gardner Wilkinson. Solid and clean inside. The Binding has some rubs, and a split is starting along the front hinge cloth, but is protected from further damage by a clear, mylar dust jacket. I would not want to visit Egypt today without this thorough 19th Century guide , to compare the changes. .

Description:
London: Hakluyt Society, 1996. Book. Illus. by 4 Maps and 14 Illustrations. Fine. Cloth. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Schuver was a Dutch explorer, who went south from Cairo in 1880, seeking a new route to East Africa. The Mahdist revolt in Sudan forced him into the hills of the upper Blue Nile and the Eastern watershed of the White Nile. At the middle of 1883 he took a steamer up the White Nile. Ignoring advice not to travel further overland, he was murdered just a few days into western Dinka trbal country. An edited German edition was published in 1883, but the family provided the original manuscripts to the editors, Wendy James, Gerd Baumann and Douglas Johnson. This is the first editio in English, and a much fuller account, also drawing on Schuver letters and manuscripts, than the first German account. Several interesting appendices and an admirable 15 page bibliography. Slight rubs to the dustjacket, but no tears, protected in a clear, mylar sleeve..
