The Cape Whale Coast - Gateway to the Overberg region of South Africa Tapa dura -

(no place: 2b Publications, 2011) 1920380280. Oblong 4to; original black boards; laminated pictorial dustwrapper; pp. 176; lavishly illustrated with full-colour photographs. Earlier owner's name signed on front free endpaper. Fine condition. "The region encompassing the Overberg and the Whale Coast really is a hidden treasure: craggy mountains trace a jagged path toward oceans inhabited by schools of migrant whales, green hills grazed by wild antelope give onto tranquil lagoons and beaches, while tilled orchards and neatly planted vineyards stretch out in wild contrast to the disorder of pristine forests. There is a corner of this beautiful region to satisfy every soul ... These pages reflect what comprises the essential character of the place: the natural surroundings, the contrast of modern and traditional and, importantly, the many creative and industrious individuals who live here, providing an insight into the activities with which they fill their days." .
