NY, Dutton, 1972. A nonfiction book about Africa, with text by Matthiessen and photographs by Eliot Porter. Signed by Matthiessen and from the author's own library. This is the correct first edition, in brown cloth, in the first issue dust jacket with both the $17.50 price and the introductory $14.95 price, good until October 25, 1972. After the date mentioned, the first issue jackets were clipped so that only the higher price showed; later jackets were unclipped and only had the higher price. This copy is foxed and has a slice-line down the front cloth; a very good copy in a fair, fully sliced dust jacket, now taped back together: very likely sliced when boxed. [#032053] SOLD
