San Rafael: Presidio, 1978. Hardcover. Good+/Good+. A decent hardcover with one notable flaw. The very infrequent penned underlining/noting in the text. Sigh. In leafing through it I may have seen 5 or 10 of these, so it is not overwhelming. Uncocked, sound copy in all other areas. Stated 2nd pr. priced jkt. Jacket has chips out/edge creasing in… Read more about this item

Indianapolis: Bobbs-Merrill, 1945. Book Club Edition . Hardcover. Good/Fair. Sub-title, "The War of the Submarines." While this has a 1st edition statement in place, given that the jacket has no price I am reasonably sure it is a book clubbing from the firsts unaltered plates.

Wash D.C.: G.P.O., 1985. 5th or later Edition . Hardcover. Near Fine/No Jacket. I surmise that this is one volume of what I assume is the multi-volume 1985 reprint of the 1971 reprint done by The National Historical Society. Perhaps a sales promo item?
