Soft cover. Map endpapers. xviii, 341 pp. 30 pp. colour plates. Light creasing and soiling to spine, slight bumping to corners, some creasing to lamination of rear cover. Some creasing to outer margin of p. 187. First published in 1881, The Head-hunters of Borneo captures the spirit of one man who dared to explore the recesses of the mysterious island of Borneo. Bock eagerly proceeded in spite of rumours of cannibalism and the previous deaths of many who had attempted less. The situations he finds himself in, and the people whose lives and ways he describes, are ample material for an entertaining arm-chair adventure into the unknown.
