Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. No Jacket. 8 + 632 pages, illustrated, not dated. This appears to contain the original Adam & Co publication (where the title given refers to "David Livingstone, LL D"); then maybe a re-publication (where the title given refers to "Dr Livingstone"); and finally appears to have been rebound, and into attractive calf covers. On the front cover is "The Life and Explorations of Dr Livingstone, The Great Missionary Traveller". The text pages show a degree of light foxing throughout; one very minor stain shows; minimal wear to covers; generally in very good condition, considering age of at least the original part of the book.
