No Passport to Tibet by Lt. Col. FM. Bailey. Published by Rupert Hart-Davis, Soho Square, London, 1957. Hardcover. Used, Good condition. 294 pp.

The fifteen-hundred mile journey through un-surveyed and unknown country in Tibet described in this book was made in 1913. The mystery of the Tsangpo Gorges was solved; the country forming the border between Tibet and Assam was mapped; specimens of mammals and butterflies unknown to the West were brought back, the habitat of the eared pheasant was described; and perhaps most popularly, the Himalayan Blue Poppy (Meconopsis betonicifolia Baileyi) was observed (to be later brought back to England by Captain Kingdon Ward). Lt. Col. F.M. Bailey's account is riveting.
