THE MAJOR WORKS - ALL FIRST EDITIONS, FIRST ISSUE, SIGNED, INSCRIBED OR IN THEIR DUST JACKETS.

The set includes the 1936 offprint for the Geographical Society that is Fleming’s early account of the journey that would become News from Tartary. 

 A rare chance to own a complete and more or less unique collection of all of Fleming’s most important writings. 

A complete catalogue is available upon request.
