OLD SEA WINGS WAYS WORDS 1930 hb Leslie Maritime Lore Marine Sailing Boats Ships

Description: This is the illustrated 1930 edition of OLD SEA WINGS, WAYS AND WORDS by R C Leslie. Probably the ultimate edition of this celebrated maritime work on sea-lore et al, featuring the entire original 1890 text — with a new introduction, biographical notes and supplementary drawings. Hardback, around six inches by nine tall, retains its original pictorial jacket [see photos], over its publisher's original blue cloth. First edition in this form, published by Chapman & hall, London, in 1930. Aside from a few succinct marginal emendations to preliminary pages, free from further permanent inscription and markings to the text. Although interior condition is overall good, because this original letterpress book is old, it does display minor signs of use and age — such as the usual discolouration to old paper — consistent with a printed object of this vintage. Many line drawn illustrations within the text. All xxxvi + xix preliminary pages + 328 pp main text + 39 pp notes + index at rear are complete and otherwise correct. ¶ Robert Charles Leslie (b 1826); Anglo-American nautical author ¶ Your book, anywhere within the UK, is sent to you FREE.
