About This Item
Philadelphia and London: J. B. Lippincott Co.. Good with no dust jacket. 1902. First Edition. Hardcover. A decent copy meriting restoration. The cloth is starting to split along the seam of the spine at the back, and the hinge is weak. The top and tail are fraying. The pages are quite foxed (which would be true of all copies). The interior is quite clean, and there are few, if any, signs of use. All photos are present. There are no inscriptions. The front board is especially nice, with the word "Yachting" stamped in gold made to resemble rope. .
