This is the 1934 *first edition* of NOTES ON WALKING AROUND SHILLONG by W Allsup.    This hard-to-find regional travel publication is one of the earliest dedicated walking guides to Shillong, documenting Raj-era treks, tracks and hill walks around the Khasi Uplands …                          Hardback, around 4.5 inches by six tall, is bound in its publisher's original linen-backed boards.     First edition printed at the Don Bosco Industrial School and Orphanage, Shillong, (N E India), in 1934.     With individually tipped in author’s printed addenda [at left in photo, directly below]   Free from permanent inscription and markings to the text. Although interior condition is overall good, because this original letterpress book is approaching 100 years old, it may display minor signs of use and age — like the usual age-toning to old paper — consistent with a printed object of this vintage. All 87 pp main text are complete and essentially correct. ✔              ¶ William Frederick Allsup (1890–1969); sometime member of the Yorkshire Ramblers, manager of a Cossipore armaments factory and guiding hand in the creation of the Mountain Club of India. Connected with early mountaineering and exploration culture in India and the Himalayas, Allsup’s also remembered for early cave exploration in Assam and Meghalaya. ¶     Your book, anywhere within the UK, is sent to you FREE.
