Endpapers are black and white map. From jacket: "The dust jacket gives a plane's-eye look at 'the heart of Fiordland,' a majestic and primeval scenery that has an overpowering impact on the air sightseer.

The author came under the spell of Fiordland, and this book is an entertaining account of his adventures as bushman, tourist guide, launch skipper, and as worker on the vast Manapouri-Deep Cove hydroelectric project." Moderate wear and some rubbing to jacket; bumped corners and head and heel of spine; inscription on half title page. Thanks for shopping with us! 100% of your… Read More
