Description
"The Desert of Ice" (The second part of the Adventures of Captain Hatteras), by Jules Verne, with One Hundred and Twenty illustrations by Riou, published by Henry Coats, Philadelphia, 1880s, copyright 1874 by James Osgood.
Hard boards, original publisher's cloth with illustration on the front board [some wear, a few cloth damages on spine: see photo]; 5" x 7.1/2"; book seller label inside front cover, 206 pages, woodcut illustrations + 10 page publisher's catalog, very good condition.
"For me, this second book of Captain Hatteras’ adventures had a much better pace than the first book. The characters are not just sitting around waiting for things to happen as much as they were in the prior volume. Despite some glaring factual errors which date the book, and a somewhat anti-climactic ending, I found this to be more entertaining than "At The North Pole", and I give it the higher rating of the two volumes."
