A boy's adventure story set in Mexico, where the jaguar (Felis onca) in all parts of Spanish-America is erroneously called the tiger (tigré),

so the hunter of this animal is termed a tiger-hunter (tigrero).

this book is in Very Good or better condition
and the only faults that I can find are as follows:
corners and spine ends very lightly bumped, and tissue guard tanned
else:
the binding is tight and straight
covers and gilt are clean and bright
all pages and illustrations are present (as called for)
there are no tears, dog-ears, foxing or insect damage
