An Empire in Green and Gold: The Story of the American Banana Trade
New York, Henry Holt & co, 1947. One in-8 volume of 218 x 148 mm, 303 pp. First edition, mention of first printing. Green hardcover, no jacket, title written in gold on the spine with author's and editor's name above and below. Green vertical bands at the double title page. Table of contents at the beginning of the book. An interesting work on American entrepreneurs and the United Fruit company. Written before the smear campaign which tarnished the company's reputation, a true tale of human action and interactions amidst exotic places.
Very small foxing on the first pages, aside from that the binding is firm and the book in very good condition.
