Beschreibung

Very Good+ in a Very Good dustjacket. Fully bound in blue-green cloth. The spine is stamped in gilt and red. Map-endpapers. Untrimmed fore-edge. 360pp. The volume, itself, is in very nice shape: there is a touch of sunning to the spine, the upper rear tip is mildly bumped, and there is light foxing to the endpapers. Otherwise clean, square, and tight. No reading wear or previous owner's markings. The dustjacket, glossy in a mylar sleeve, has touches of edgewear. The spine is sunned. There is creasing on the back panel as well as some age-toning; the white jacket flaps have fox-marks. The original price of $3.95 is still intact. "When Alexander The Great decided to give an elephant to his old teacher Aristotle, a problem of logistics arose. Alexander was in India and Aristotle was in Athens. Thousands of miles of blazing deserts, towering mountains, turbulent rivers, and savage, scarcely conquered peoples lay between; and Aias, the elephant, had to have his two hundred pounds of hay and vegetables everyday."
