A propos de cet article

Sharp corners. No underlining. No highlighting. No margin notes. Fresh and crisp, probably never read. Bound in the original rose cloth spine and maroon boards, lettered in gold. Illustrated with double-page map. Eloquent narrative of 2 month's travel in 1987 at the height of the monsoon. From the dust jacket: "Frater followed the Indian monsoon. along its unpredictable course through the country: from the 'burst' on the beaches of the tropical city of Trivandrum [through Delhi to Calcutta, across Bangladesh, and finally to the town of Cheerapunji]. With great insight and wit, Frater vividly renders his own experience of the monsoon, deftly weaving together fact, impression and anecdote. Alexander Frater -- chief travel writer for the LONDON OBSERVER -- spent the first six years of his life on a South Pacific island where rain seemed to have 'metallic weight and mass' and hurricanes gave seasonal 'bravura climactic performances.' His father -- the only doctor in a thousand square miles of scattered islands -- had a proprietary interest in the weather and taught Frater to understand and utterly enjoy the volatile play of the elements.". First American Edition (so stated). Hardcover. Near Fine condition/Near Fine dust jacket. Illus. by NOT a library discard. 8vo. 273pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.…

Description de la boutique

About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you want to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.…
