8vo., First Edition, with frontispiece and maps in the text; brown cloth, gilt back, a fine copy in unclipped dustwrapper.
Authentic Facsimile Limited Edition of 750 copies produced by Pierway Publishing. This production mirrors the original in exacting detail. The book is almost completely hand made. It is printed on acid-free, vellum paper with maroon dutch comb endpapers, smyth-sewn in the traditional way and bound in morocco textured red gilt cloth. Book is in FINE Condition. This book is Richard F. Burton's rarest book and there are only 6 copies in Libraries worldwide. One copy showed up on Portobello Road in London a few years ago and another one in New England and both disappeared quickly in private collections. Elusive and rare, Burton supposedly was paid very little by the war office to acknowledge his authorship. The book never caught on in England but the Prussian Army bought most of the copies to train their troops as it was considered the best work on the use of the Bayonet at the time. It is rumored that a fire in the Prussian barracks destroyed most copies which would account for the book's rarity today.
