Prima edizione
Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. A near fine copy of the scarce first edition, third printing, of this work. The sturdy brown cloth binding appears to be a contemporary rebind. It is in very good condition with very little wear, strong gilt lettering to the spine, and square unbumped corners. The profusely illustrated contents are clean and bright, printed on heavy coated paper. Just a little browning to the endpapers and pastedowns. From the preface: "The exploits of the Man-Eaters of Tsavo aroused so much interest that I have devoted the opening chapter to an account of one or two of their many unrecorded and unwelcome appearances in our midst at the time of the building of the Uganda Railway. Practically the whole of this book was written while I was suffering from the illness which I contracted in the Nyika, so I trust that its many shortcomings will be overlooked. LIEUT.COL. J. H. PATTERSON. London, August, 1909".
