About Seagull Books East Sussex, United Kingdom
Originally started as an amateur venture, Seagull Books has quickly grown into a knowledgable and reputable on-line book vendor. Our inventory is growing all the time, and we are constantly updating our stock with the latest finds. We specialise in out-of-print books - particularly paperbacks - and never cease to be amazed at what is no longer considered worth publishing! Many of our customers clearly share that view.
All orders will be dispatched within 1 working day of purchase, and often on the same day. If a book does not meet a customer\'s expectations, then a full refund, including outgoing P&P, will be offered upon return of the item. Refunds for any other reason will be processed minus the outgoing P&P. The quality descriptions we use match those that are found on Amazon e.g. Like New, Very Good, Good and Acceptable. In most cases, we have also added more detailed comments ourselves about the condition of a particular book.
From the publisher
From the jacket flap
Filled with adventure, poignant personal reflections, and fascinating mountain lore told by Indian chiefs, professional guides, priests, and scientists, this book is one man's stirring quest to reconcile with a dazzling creation of nature, at once alluring and sometimes deadly.
