Contains many interesting articles, as well as brief reports on trade and commerce development in Central and South America, profusely illustrated with photographs and maps (including fold-outs.) Among the topics covered in detail are railway construction in Bolivia, "nanduti" or the spiderweb lace of Paraguay and pineapple growing in Cuba. Quite aside from the interesting contents, this is an attractive and sturdy volume bound in 3/4 leather with dark blue cloth, marblized endpapers and edges of the text block. Pp. i-vii, 477-651. Scuffing to the leather at the corners and sides of the spine, pgs 571-576 were bound in upside down, but otherwise this book is in near fine condition. . |
