This impressive hardcover coffee table book, published by Reader's Digest South Africa in 1988, serves as a comprehensive pictorial record of the country's diverse landscapes. Featuring contributions from 22 of South Africa’s premier photographers, the work is organized into eleven distinct geographical regions, accompanied by regional maps and specialized portfolios focusing on natural themes like the floral kingdoms and coastal life. It is a significant late-20th-century publication that captures the sweeping scale of the South African subcontinent through high-quality aerial and landscape photography. The book is in good vintage condition, though the dust jacket shows visible shelf wear, including a notable chip and some fraying at the top left corner of the spine and upper edge. The internal pages remain clean, bright, and securely bound, maintaining the vibrancy of the full-color plates and detailed maps.
