About This Item
Greenwish: New York Graphic Society Publishers, Ltd., 1964. First Edition With illustrations from photographs. 8vo, publisher’s original blue cloth, lettered in silver on the spine panel, in the original printed dustjacket. (8), 279 pp. A fine and very well preserved copy but for the old internal “withdrawn” stamps and markings from taping to the old plastic protective cover. The dustjacket is very well preserved and has now been placed inside of a clean plastic protective cover. A nice copy considering. FIRST EDITION. With selections from the most important of the Antarctic works: SCOTT’S LAST EXPEDITION, THE HOME OF THE BLIZZARD, THE HEART OF THE ANTARCTIC, SOUTH, THE SOUTH POLE and Byrd’s major works, ALONE, DISCOVERY and LITTLE AMERICA.
