About This Item
London: Max Parrish, 1962. First Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. The interior of the book is crisp and fresh, showing no use or wear. There is a former owner's signature on the free front end paper, but no other marks. The yellow cloth covers are bright, with bumps at the top and bottom of the spine, but no other wear. The gilt lettering is still bright. The dust jacket is not price-clipped, and shows just a touch of wear at the edges. It is now in a protective plastic cover. Synopsis: "Rafferty's Christmas shopping spree in Sydney is more strenuous than he'd bargained for, but it is still not half as exacting as the trip home to Bo-ambee. The two new deck hands do not seem to fit at all into the Merlin's routine
