About This Item
Barnsley: Seaforth Publishing, 2009. First Edition . Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. Hardcover in unclipped dust jacket which is clean and bright without chips or tears. The previous owner used short strips of clear tape to secure each of the inner flap edges to the book's pastedowns and these are still in place. Contents clean, white and fresh without bookplates, inscriptions, foxing or other markings. 176 pp. "For 100 years between 1850 and 1950, the cargo liner grew to dominate the world's trade routes and unlike the tramp steamer, provided regular services with advertised sailings and fixed dates that merchants, shippers and importers could rely on. They were the mainstay of maritime trade and carried much of the world's higher value manufactured goods to all the corners of the globe, returning to the industrialised countries with raw materials." 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. Heavy/oversize book. U.K. postage at default charge but overseas buyers may be asked for extra postage.
