Madras, Benares and London: The Theosophist Office and the Theosophical Publishing Society, 1909. First Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. FIRST PRINTING of First Edition. 246mm tall x 152mm, fully bound in ribbed navy cloth, white paper title patch on spine, brown marbled EPs. The first printing of the book was issued in a hardcover binding and in wrapper for custom binding. This was most likely the wrappers issue that was subsequently bound since there is no TEG. All of the original hardcover versions of the first printing that I have examined had TEG while all of the wrapper versions of the first printing did not have TEG. The book has 719 pages, 63 b/w illustrations, 11 photogravures (1 folding of Mt. Everest -- not a very high quality image), folding map. The photo of Everest is captioned, "Mount Gaurishankara, The Highest Peak In The World." But the image negative itself is printed on left side with "No 78 Mt EVEREST FROM SANDAKPHY" and on other side "TH. PAAR…

Description:
Indianapolis: Dog Ear Publishing, January 2013. Trade Paperback. Fine. Slight reading wear to corners, otherwise pristine. Not from a library. No remainder mark. Not clipped. Not damaged. Suitable for gifting. 163 pages. The 25 authors of this book were volunteers in the first Peace Corps rural community development project in Africa: Sierra Leone, 1965-67. They are also the first group to tell a collective story of Peace Corps volunteers, anywhere. The Peace Corps was in its infancy then, and memories of John Kennedy were strong among the young volunteers. Sierra Leone was also in its infancy in the first few years after independence, before military coups and tribal warfare became common. The authors forthrightly recount their feelings of loneliness and isolation, and their frightening experiences with secret societies and witchcraft, but their uniquely optimistic "can-do" American attitude brought most through a great life experience.
