Illustrated with 46 photographs (three in colour), this is the second of David Attenborough's Zoo Quest books and involves a 3,000 mile journey in Indonesia and Bali in search of the Komodo dragon. Attenborough writes of the people he met, their customs, music and temples, and of the animals he captured.

Condition

A very good copy. There is some fading to the spine and light wear to the top edge of the wrapper, and hint of a forward lean to the spine but the pages are clean and the book remains in strong readable condition.
