Historical Diversion: New book in my Collection

Do any of you remember this history book? "The White Rajahs: A History of Sarawak from 1841 to 1946" by Sir Steven Runciman was first published in 1960 by Cambridge University Press. It was never a standard textbook if I remember correctly, but it remains a very useful reference.

Anyway I found this copy in Select Books at Tanglin Shopping Centre, Singapore yesterday.
