Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. A lovely clean copy, no inscriptions and hardly read. There is a name sticker stuck on over the publisher's name on the title page, which you hardly notice. The dust jacket is clicked on the rear flap bottom corner and is somewhat sunned on the spine, otherwise it looks clean and quite bright still. A presentable copy in all.

Book First Edition
Cloth. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Edition. Built in different ways in different parts of the world, the work boat has always been hampered by the need to keep down cost, and one of the surprising things about the story of boat building is how bad have been many of the boats man has built: if they functioned more or less adequately and did not cost too much, that was all that was asked of them. Boats for kings and princes would have had splendid materials lavished on them, but the design remained the same. The deliberate attempt to improve design is a thing scarcely a hundred years old. That is just one of the things that make this beautifully written story of boatbuilding so fascinating, as are the 230-odd pictures and diagrams that illustrate it. Illustrated. Some wear to corners and some creases to D/J. Small mark to fly page from removal of old label. Price clipped. Back inside flap of D/J. clipped.
