Description:
625 Pages. The book includes portraits, illustrations, and maps and was written by the School Manager/Secretary in the Norwegian Whaling Association. It is all in the Norwegian language and is a history of Norway's whaling industry. The book's exterior has two worn corners, and two moderately worn corners, worn marks along the bottom edges and less wearing marks on the top edges, and worn areas at the top and bottom edge of the spine. In addition, the spine is faded and darkened and there is one small hole on it. The interior book has the former owner's (Whaling Museum) bookplate inside the front cover along with a sticker below it, and a worn spot/hole on the next inside page. Outside of those detriments, there are no further visible distractions, detriments, or extraneous markings throughout the book and thus all printing and the numerous photographs and illustrations are all in a very well-preserved and readable condition and the book's bindings remain tight and therefore sound.If you order this… Read More
