Henry E R L Wily

South Auckland -- Some sketches of its early settlement and development, with a glance at the conditions under which it was colonised.

1939 1st Edition h/b b&w photos 251 pages

Complete & reasonably sound but DAMAGED COPY -- FAIR. Extensive damp damage to lower half has resulted in ugly ex-damp staining to torn eps and in the lower margin of some content pages but most pronouncedly to the plates pages many of which have also suffered subsequent unsightly eating away by silverfish at lower edge (though not extending to actual images), binding cocked, occasional thumbprints -- still a FAIR reading/research copy of a quite scarce title. (Volume could be partially mended by replacing the eps and trimming the plates pages?). Sold with ALL FAULTS (“AF”).
