BAKER, Samuel White. Cyprus as I saw it. London, Macmillan, 1879.

8vo. Original illustrated cloth; pp. xx, 501, [2, advertisements], 40 (publisher's catalogue), wood-engraved frontispiece after photograph with tissue guard; light darkening to spine and lower cover, a little offsetting from endpapers, otherwise very good; contemporary Rugby School Library bookplate.

Very uncommon first edition. Following the British occupation of the island in 1878 Baker spent most of 1879 in Cyprus. Travelling in a gypsy van he describes his adventures and provides geographical and topographical descriptions, comments on the coexistence of Christians and Muslims and on the political situation. His writing is full of humorous remarks and detailed observations. Baker, who did not travel as a British official, like so many, but as a curious tourist was enchanted by the welcoming friendliness of the inhabitants.

this watch is beautiful and classic - with a twist
Color: Gold Plated, Color: Gold Plated
This Coach Oliver watch has all the elements of a classic men's watch. It has a gold-tone stainless steel link metal band, three hands, and a date window. Minimalist and perfect. There is a good, solid heft to it, and it is a great size that makes a statement without being too much for everyday wear. What makes it a little extra special to me is the green watch face, which has a three-dimensional, almost iridescent effect. It catches the light beautifully. It does have a Coach brand name on the face and the clasp, but it's subtle enough that it doesn't scream the brand name. This is just a beautiful, classic men's watch design, with a cool pop of color, design and texture that sets it apart. It comes gifting-ready, but no instructions are included, though figuring out how to set it is easy. It runs on a battery, with maintenance recommended every three to five years. Coach watches are made by Movado, and the quality shows in every detail. It's a beauty.

This watch makes a statement. The gold finish looks luxurious without being too flashy, and the build feels solid and premium. The date display is a nice touch, and it pairs well with both casual and formal looks. It has that classic Coach style that stands out without trying too hard. A really nice gift for him or anyone who appreciates quality watches. Good value for the quality that you get
