Moderate wear to boards and with light fraying to spine ends. Gilt lettering faded; So immersed in African culture is author Coudenhove that he had not slept in a bed, dined with a human, or seen any entertainment in decades of living there. Quoth he: I have not been in a theatre for twenty-eight years...and I have never seen any of the modern dances--'jazz' I think they are called. So this perspective might be considered unsullied by any 'modern' thinking, and it is pure African to the core--a unique perspective on the fauna of the continent ; Ex-Lib; B&W Photographs; 8vo; 245 pages View more info
