First edition, first printing. Original green cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. With an illustrated frontispiece and sixty-one photographs by A. Costa, and a sketch-map of the Caribbean Islands by H. W. Hawes. A very good copy, the binding square and firm, the extremities lightly rubbed, the cloth bright and fresh. The contents, with some spotting to the prelims, text block edges, and occasionally the margins, are otherwise clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. There is a short closed tear to the bottom edge of page 97 (a production fault). Complete with the good, rubbed, nicked and creased, price-clipped dustwrapper that has a couple of closed tears and some chipping to the spine tips and fold corners.
The author's first book, an account of his travels in the Caribbean.
