A trade paperback copy of O'Brian's second Aubrey-Maturin novel, as-new unread, lined & signed "Patrick O'Brian" (full name, only) to the title page. Although the hardcover first edition was William Collins 1972, this copy states "first published as a Norton paperback 1990 by arrangement with William Collins & Sons Co. Ltd." Furthermore, this isn't the first octavo paperback, thus. At the bottom of the copyright page we find the single numeral "0," off center, significance a bit cryptic, but possibly indicating a 10th printing, thus. Lists 15 Aubrey/Maturin novels through "The Truelove" (1992.) Action adventure Nelson's navy Napoleonic Wars, 496 pp., reduced from $650. Signed by Author(s).
