About This Item
London: Collins, 1958. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Dust Jacket Included. 1st Edition. Hardcover. First Edition. A gripping tale of a three day ship-to-ship engagement in the Indian Ocean during the Napoleonic Wars. A near fine copy in blue cloth, decorated endpapers, (previous collector's discreet name to the verso of the front free endpaper, tiny unobtrusive bookseller's ticket to the front free endpaper), gilt titles to the spine in a near fine bright, fresh unpriced 'export' pictorial dustwrapper. 8vo. 256 pp. Very nice indeed.
