Contact seller5-star sellerdj. Later printing of the first edition with publisher's code on copyright page "K-E" indicating publication date of October 1930. A remarkably nice copy of this swashbuckling book featuring tales of "Pirates, Buccaneers, [and] Marooners, those cruel but picturesque sea wolves who once infested the Spanish Main" (from Johnson's…foreword). Illustrated throughout with line drawings and full-page plates, including a few in color. Housed in the publisher's original paper-covered box with printed label. Box is missing portion of one side from its top but still solid and in generally good shape though showing some damp staining and wear. Both book and dust jacket are fine with only the barest aging and minor wear. Publisher's announcement for reissue of a number of books in Harper's illustrated "Adventure" series laid in (single cream-colored leaf printed in red on both sides; lists books by Twain, Doyle, et al with order form on back). Scarce in such nice shape and with box.
