Description
New York: Harper & Brothers, 1856. FIRST AMERICAN EDITION. With frontispiece and numerous text illustrations. Original publisher’s cloth front and back covers with gilt designs over later morocco; frontispiece and title slightly loose, interior very good. First American edition (two impressions were published in London the same year). This work recounts two expeditions of southern Africa undertaken by the author between 1850-1854. Many of the areas he explored were almost unknown in Europe at the time, and his narrative is packed with descriptive imagery and sensational events, from lion attacks and swarms of locusts to local legends and witchcraft. “Few, if any, books give so full and complete an account of Namaqualand, Damaraland, and the Ovampo country, and the description of the fauna of these countries is absolutely unequalled” (Mendelssohn). Andersson (1827-1867) was a Swedish explorer and amateur naturalist best known for his extensive travels of the southern region of Africa.

Description
New York: Henry Holt and Company, 1988. First Edition. 225pp. Octavo [21.5 cm] 1/2 black cloth over red boards with the title gilt stamped on the backstrip. Near fine/Near fine. Signed by Abbey on the front free endsheet in the year of publication. Collection of essays by the celebrated curmudgeon. Edward Abbey (1927-1989) was a celebrated author, essayist, conservationist, noted pain-in-the-ass, and in many ways the father (or at the very least, uncle) of the modern environmental movements. "This book consists of a collection of pieces, most written on commission from some magazine editor, book publisher, or college speakers bureau. Whether or not each piece rises to the occasion I leave for the reader to judge. All were written for money, in the higher, finer sense of that ambiguous term - I have a wife, an ex-wife, several children, a dog, a cat, a mortgaged house, and a 1973 Ford pickup truck to support - and all were written for fun.
