Portrait of a vanishing breed: the history from of small Brit fore- and aft-rigged sailing ships — and their fate subsequent to Dunkirk …
Hardback, around five inches by more than eight tall (c 150 mm x 230 mm if you prefer), retains its original pictorial dust jacket, intact and unclipped, over its publisher's original blue cloth, titling lettered in silver.
Volume One (of two) published by David & Charles, Newton Abbot (Devon), in 1968. Provenance: from ink signature of author to Tony Haslett on flyleaf, datelined London and dated 6.11.68; free from further permanent inscription and markings to the text.
Although interior condition is overall good, because this original letterpress book is old, it may display minor signs of use and age consistent with a printed object of this vintage. All 264 pp main text (inc 46 plates, 22 drawings, index) are complete and otherwise correct.
