There is the possibility of some miniscule loss at the top and base of the spine. IA very scarce book in very collectable condition.

Blue cloth binding (faded to brown on the spine). Clean text; 324 pages; map of the islands as decorative endpapers. This copy is mildly bumped and has a lean; several spots of discoloration on the covers. There is a small paper label on the front cover and a previous-owner signature on the front paste-down. This is a sound copy in an uncommon edition, but not for the advanced collector. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. First Thus. Hard Cover. Very Good Minus/No Jacket.
