180 pages, frontispiece of author in seal suit, and a second plate titled "Killing the Sea Elephant", this one with tissue guard. The original spine strip has been replaced with a blank brown strip; there is intermittent foxing throughout the book; pp 99 to 118 are literally hanging on by a thread, causing the hinge to crack; page 130 has a handwritten strip attached to the head repeating the last two lines on page 129; ink stains on the head's blank outer edge pp 100 to 103, and on pp 115to 127, again on the head's blank outer edge, a nicotine coloured stain. It's not a pretty copy, but apart from the loose pages, solid enough to be read and definitely worth rebinding.Not recommended for the perfectionist. Full tile: "Narrative of a Voyage to the South Seas, and the Shipwreck of the Princess of Wales Cutter, with an account of a two years' residence on an uninhabited island by one of the survivors".

Descripción de la librería

Good Reading was established in 1991. In early 2013, I downsized from a shop which spanned a block and two stories to a largish house which resembles a rabbit warren. There are at approximately 40,000 titles, including over 10,000 books in Italian, French, German, Modern Greek, Latin and classical Greek., most of which have not yet been catalogued. I also have a very large Theology section, and a substantial cookery and Australian History one. Please contact me if there is a specific title you are chasing as it may be languishing on the shelf uncatalogued. All enquiries will be answered promptly, books will be mailed out swaddled like Russian babies, and all faults honestly described. I do a full refund for any book sporting nasty surprises.
