Hardback, third edition, 1841. Bound with wooden boards and black leather spine. Blue eps. Gilt all round. 110pp, with frontispiece showing the ship lying on it's side and three further plates. About 30% missing from free edge of lower board, with resultant damage to pp 103-110. Small chip from lower corner of upper board. The damage to pp107-110 has been largely repaired with archival tape, but there is minor loss of text. Paper fragile. Binding sound and clean internally, thus still a fair copy of this souvenir book. Pics available on request.

Store description
I have over 25 years years experience of selling books for readers and collectors. My initial experience was gained assisting my father in his Antiquarian Bookshop and I then founded my own business after his retirement. Nowadays I am kept busy conducting a postal business via the Internet and attending Collectors' Fairs in the East Anglia region of the UK. The books that I offer for sale are largely non-fiction, covering a wide variety of subjects, although I do stock antiquarian and collectable modern fiction and books for children. My stock comprises in excess of 10,000 books. I am happy to provide further details and photos by e-mail or telephone (evenings)about any book which might spark your interest. If you care to send a wants list I will be happy to check it against my uncatalogued stock. Please indicate in writing if you do not want your details held on file in anticipation that titles of potential interest to you may be added to my stock.…
