Notes for Buyers
- This book is a lesser-common vintage biography/introductory title on Albert Schweitzer and features the added value of two unpublished addresses by Schweitzer himself — a plus for collectors and serious readers of missionary/theological history. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
- Please note: because this copy is pre-owned and vintage, age-related characteristics such as offsetting, foxing, or dust jacket wear are typical and to be expected. View any available photos carefully and ask questions if necessary.
- If you are particularly seeking a specific printing version (1954 vs 1956 UK edition), please check imprint and publisher details before purchase.
