colophon page. The first African novel to portray Black Africans as they 
are and not as white men in blackface. One of the more attractive early 
titles from the press, not often found in acceptable condition let alone 
as nice as this copy with the leather still supple and bright. Minor 
defects to the leather. About Fine in a close to Fine slipcase.
