First Edition stated from 1963: Exploration of Africa by Thomas Sterling, with the Editors of Horizon Magazine and consultant George H. T. Kimble. This is an illustrated hardcover Horizon Caravel history book published by American Heritage Publishing Co., with Harper & Row institutional distribution.
Condition is fair and it’s best for a reader, display copy, or someone who wants an affordable first edition rather than a collectible copy. It is ex-library, with a stamped “Property of Mesa Union School Library” mark and catalog number present. The boards show noticeable rubbing, scuffing, discoloration/soiling, and edge/corner wear. The spine has shelf wear and abrasion at the head and foot, with visible label wear. Inside, there is age toning and light general wear. Pages appear complete through the index page shown.
Because of the ex-library markings and overall wear, collector value is lower than a clean first edition copy, but it’s still a solid vintage history title with great shelf presence.
Included is the book only, exactly as shown/described. If you’ve been looking for an inexpensive vintage African history hardcover, feel free to message me.
