Johnson, Osa. I Married Adventure, The Lives and Adventures of Martin and Osa Johnson. First Edition. 1940. Hardcover (no dust jacket). Book is in very good condition—previous owner's name discreetly stamped on flyleaf, and spine shows browning with age and a small stain.
In the rare book market, a dust jacket constitutes up to ninety-nine percent of a book’s value. There are just a few exceptions, and this book is one of them. Design enthusiasts, who adore the zebra-patterned boards, gleefully snap up every available copy, dust jacket or not, and will happily remove the jacket if it happens to come with one. The story is equally divine. It is the autobiography of a woman from Kansas who, like Dorothy, landed in Oz (but in her case, Oz was sub- Saharan Africa), and many adventures ensue.
