About This Item
First UK edition, London, 1898. Hardcover. An English sailor describes life aboard an American whaling vessel. Overall condition is Very Good: primary condition issue is sun fade to front board and spine. Gutters showing front and back but all is holding together and only slightly tender. Interior is excellent. Gift inscription on half title dated 'Jan./99' along with prior bookseller's pencil note. Complete as issued with all blanks, 8 illustrations and folding map. This copy is distinguished by the scarce red brick binding. Almost all other first editions have the blue binding. Please see images of the book you will receive. Notes: True 1st UK editions are dated on title page 1898 by Smith, Elder & Co., London. Those without dates on title page are later issues. The 1st US edition is Appleton dated 1899 on title page. There is no such thing as an 1897 edition although you will find some for sale. For more info see Hill 212.
