Great African Mysteries
R175.00
Quick Overview
Great African Mysteries was first published in 1935, his second book to be published in Britain. The demand for his early works has been so great that it was decided to make his early works available once more for his multitude of readers. Lawrence Green always had an outstanding press overseas as well as in South Africa and as The Times Literary Supplement said: “That tireless traveller lends enchantment to many a northern escapologist's winter of discontent ... and yet this is not merely a surface and sentimental portrait of the world's least trampled parts. It is rather reminiscent of one of those quiet provincial museums where the noise of traffic dies suddenly away and one finds oneself face to face with the longer vista of man's development, his adaptability and, stretching further back with the dilemmas of evolution.”

How we describe the condition of our books
We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)
New: Exactly as it says.
As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.
Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.
Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.
Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.
Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
