Clean yellow boards with brown cloth spine, gold author initials on cover, gold lettering on spine. No bumping or wear. Binding is tight and square, hinges are sound.

Clean dust jacket is unchipped, has slight edge wear and one short closed edge tear at top of rear panel at flap fold, not price clipped; enclosed in new archival quality removable mylar cover. Over a period of six years, Dr. Schaller explored the awesome Himalayan mountain range (one journey was the subject of Peter Matthiessens "The Snow Leopard") in order to study the fascinating but increasingly rare wildlife of the area and to determine what locations would make good reserves and national parks. A story of high adventure, introspection, oberservation and discovery, the author also offers a rare glimpse of a vanishing civilization..
