Sobre este artículo
Alderney: Privately printed for the author, 1962.. Limited edition, no. 90 of 100 copies. 8vo. Publisher's parchment backed red-orange cloth boards, gilt lettered to the spine, author's initials in gilt to the upper board, marbled endpapers, top edge gilt, original glassine wrapper, presentation inscription on the limitation page from White to the travel writer Wilfred Thesiger with the former's customary doodle of a heart with an arrow through it, Thesiger's pictorial bookplate to the verso of the front free endpaper. Wear with some losses to the edges of the glassine, just slight sunning to the upper edge of each board and mild bumping to the corners, an attractive copy. Previously sold in Maggs Bros. catalogue no. 1193 "Books from the Library of Wilfred Thesiger", issued in 1995. In the description Thesiger reminisces "While I was with John Verney in Florence in 1961-62, and writing The Marsh Arabs, Tim White was frequently with us. It was certainly rewarding to spend so long with such an unusual character."
