Zara s Tales: Perilous Escapades from Tropical Africa is a unique Advance Reading copy/ uncorrected proof/ and True First, with numerous color plates as well as publisher s folded Announcement sheet describing Peter Beard s latest book to be published on 24 November 2004, and a printed promotional photograph of Peter Beard with his daughter Zara resting on his shoulder laid in., with pages 105 and 108 printed twice. The layout of this book is much different from the final product, including a special page writeup about Peter Beard by the editors. (See images). A splendid collectors item, very unique and perhaps one of a kind offered for sale at this time. Very good book, as new, appears to be unread, in our possession since 2004.
