The edition you see here is not the edition that I read. I own the original 1960 translation. This is a great book. It bounces between a few tribes and landmarks in the Kalahari and surrounding areas. The photos are great as is the text of the book itself. I do not know if this paperback edition here is any good. If you can track down a copy of the earlier edition I recommend it.
