Item Details

Description

1931 Yankee Ships in Pirate Waters by Rupert Holland Out-of-print fact-based sea adventure stories. Illustrated by Frank E. Schoonover. Color pastedown on cover, double-page spread color title page and three additional full-page color illustrations, plus numerous b/w drawings. Binding straight and tight. Cover in excellent shape. Barest hint of rubbing on lower corner points and bottom spine. Cover pastedown vivid with small scratch at bottom, few very faint red dots near title, and two faint water stains. Pages 62-63 are quite tan. A few of the pages before and after are mildly tan around edges. Endpaper gutters foxed slightly due to binding adhesive. First free endpaper has double fold running length of the vertical. Two pages have fair-sized corner fold, two others have just a tiny corner fold. A very attractive copy. Published by Garden City Publishing. 317 pages. 6.5 x 9. Near fine.
