First edition, first impression, very handsomely bound, of Churchill's account of his travels around British East Africa in the autumn of 1907. Still highly readable, the book "bubbles with Churchill's irrepressible interest in everything new, whether it was the thrill of hunting rhino, the dangers of sleeping sickness, or the engagingly extempore justice of the District Officers" (Woods, p. 81). Octavo. Finely bound by the Chelsea Bindery in burgundy morocco, titles and decoration to spine gilt, single rule to boards gilt, signature block to front board gilt, roll to turn-ins gilt, marbled endpapers, gilt edges. With three maps and sixty-one illustrations from photographs by Churchill and Lieutenant-Colonel Gordon Wilson. A fine copy. .
