The Head-Hunters of Borneo by Carl Bock recounts the Victorian explorer’s 1879 journey into the island’s interior, offering a vivid first-hand look at Dayak culture and the once-mysterious practice of head-hunting. Long a staple among regional history buffs, this classic travel narrative blends adventure with ethnographic detail.

This 1988 paperback edition remains tight and unmarked, its pages free of notes and smoke-free odor. Light cover scuffing and a gentle corner crease from front to back are the only reminders of shelf time, making it a sturdy reader or reference copy for students and armchair travelers alike.

Collectors of Southeast Asian history or Borneo travel memoirs will appreciate the accessible format and the author’s candid Victorian perspective. Secure binding ensures the book will hold up to repeated consultation or classroom use.
