First edition. Gollancz, London, 1961. Hardcover. Red cloth boards with gilt lettering to spine. Binding is square and tight. Text block is clean and bright, with no inscriptions with some foxing in some pages. Dust jacket shows light general chipping and wear to the spine ends and corners, with a few small, closed tears to the upper edges. A very good copy of Langston Hughes's influential anthology of mid-century African writing.
