About This Item
From 1978 to 1981, Time-Life Books published a series called 'The Seafarers'. It was 22 volumes, all written by experts in their fields, on different aspects of maritime history.
All are 175-185 pages, all bound in thick black leatherette, all beautifully illustrated with drawings, paintings and photographs.
Of the 22, I have 12 left (the list is below). All are listed here on Biblio. You can buy one, or as many as you like.
Mine are from the first printing. Unless otherwise noted, all are in mint condition.
This one is 'The Racing Yachts', reviewed as "A very good book. Focused mostly on the Americas cup yachts, from the original 1851 race through the turn of the century, and a little coverage into the 1960s, with enough background and details to make each story interesting."
Condition: Mint
From the series, I have:
- The Clipper Ships
