First German edition of "The Klondike Fever". Contrary to the German title, the book is mostly about Klondike, Dawson City, Yukon rather than Alaska..For the longest time, all of North America to Germans was America. Only recently, mostly since Trudeau, Canada has been regarded as a more separate entity, as a country with independent politics, different culture and identifiable literature. Binding is paper over board, grey leather spine with gilt title.
V.g., clean copy, dust wrapper is worn at edges with some loss at foot of spine. Sehr gutes, sauberes Expl.; SU an Kanten Abnutzungsspuren; ca. 1cm an unterer Rückenkante fehlt.
