Peru: History of Coca, subtitled The Divine Plant of the Incas, by W. Golden Mortimer is one of the most important books ever written on the subject, a comprehensive first edition treatment of coca's botanical, historical, cultural, and medical dimensions published in 1901 at the height of serious scientific and commercial interest in the plant. The copy is presented in its original red cloth with gilt medallion to the front cover, gilt lettering and decoration to the spine, and top edge gilt, in a beautiful and well-preserved state across 576 pages. The Albuquerque trade provenance is consistent with the movement of significant Southwest and Latin American reference books through the New Mexico collector and dealer market.
