Condition Report: Near Fine. The magenta cloth boards remain exceptionally sharp and firmly bound, entirely free from shelf-wear or edge-bumping, with the white and silver spine tooling remaining remarkably bright and unoxidized. Internally, the text block is perfectly square, and the pages are uniformly crisp, bright, and free of any foxing, age-toning, or structural weakness. The original unclipped dust jacket is excellently preserved with only the absolute faintest suggestion of handling to the upper extremities, maintaining its vivid colour profile without any fading or edge-creasing.

Catalogue Note: First edition, first printing, with the complete number line ('1') present on the publisher's copyright page. This copy features the original decorative endpapers detailing the Mountain Peoples of the Caucasus before the Russian conquest.

An attractive, well-preserved example of Bullough's acclaimed first book.

While well-thumbed reading copies of this title are relatively common on the secondary market, it is becoming increasingly difficult to source a true first printing in such unblemished, collector's condition.

In this vivid and impassioned travelogue, Oliver Bullough ventures into the mountainous heart of the Caucasus to uncover the suppressed histories of its defiant peoples. Fusing rigorous historical research with striking on-the-ground reportage, Bullough chronicles the legacy of Russian imperial conquest, the brutal reality of forced exile, and the enduring resilience of communities that refused to be erased. Let Our Fame be Great stands as both a testament to human survival and a necessary correction to the neglected history of a complex, war-torn region.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
