Sobre este artículo
This 2-volume First edition, published in 1838, is extremely rare.

Mendelssohn (S.) South African Bibliography, 1:20-21: 'He proceeded to Namaqualand and Damaraland, which countries were very little known at the time. Leaving Cape Town in 1836, he traversed these regions in an ox wagon, and went through a large part of South West Africa arriving at Walvisch Bay almost exhausted with the difficulties of travel and want of water. He succeeded in obtaining a good collection of zoological and other specimens, many of which were at that time unknown to the scientific world. The volumes contain an account of the social condition of the Namaquas, Bushmen and Damaras.'
Due to value, shipping and insurance to overseas buyers will be 2-3 times higher than the Biblio-quoted shipping cost.

Simple buyer remorse warrants a return of book(s) within 30 days of purchase, but then only the cost of the book will be refunded (postage costs both ways are NOT refundable) provided the book(s) is received by me within 30 days of the buyer receiving it, and provided the book(s) is returned to me in the same condition in which I dispatched it. If I have accidentally grossly misrepresented the book(s), then I will allow a return, and will cover return postage costs and issue a full refund, to include original postage costs. I will not be held responsible for book(s) damaged during shipment if a buyer does NOT procure insurance against such damage. If a buyer procures insurance coverage against loss or damage, then I will follow up with the shipping carrier to obtain a refund for the buyer.
