ORIENTAL SPOTLIGHT
VG. Yellow boards with black titling. No dj. Some slight rounding to corners with no loss. Binding is secure and tight and all pages present. Small octavo pp 143. A witty "true guide" to what the traveller would find in the near east, in the afermath of empire and war - with incisive cartoons. Pukka shibs and crusty colonels - with racism on top. A 50s mix, not too PC now, but doubtless true then
