Islands of the Pacific by Daniel, Hawthorne - (1943).

NY: GP Putnam's Sons, 1943. Hardcover. Good – Used. Minor foxing; DJ has wear. Solid binding. 7th impression.

New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1941. Hardcover. xi, 228p., illustrated with line maps and emphasizing topography over ethnology (by a long shot!), let's hazard the guess that this study is partly a preparation for the struggle with Japan; dedication specifies an Army Air Force colleague. Hardbound first edition in blue cloth boards lettered yellow, lacks the dust jacket, provided with doublespread endsheet maps, clean and unmarked within, casing mildly "handled". A good copy. FYI, Daniel notes that he is writing up "lesser" islands, leaving out the archipelagoes, the "great island groups" adequately described in other sources.

Putnam's Sons. Used - Good. Good condition. Good dust jacket. Dust jacket price clipped. (oceania, description and travel ) A copy that has been read but remains intact. May contain markings such as bookplates, stamps, limited notes and highlighting, or a few light stains. Bundled media such as CDs, DVDs, floppy disks or access codes may not be included.
