JOSEPH CONRAD SEA STORIES by JOSEPH CONRAD - 1957: MARINER'S LIBRARY #37

Between 1947 and 1968, the English publisher Rupert Hart-Davis published The Mariner's Library. The library is 47 'salt-water' books, all related to sailing, adventure and exploration. Most are true stories.

I have 34 left, which I have posted individually. You can find them all under 'Maritime, Ships, Boats.'

If you'd like more than one at a reduced price, please message me.

The original owner collected the set and had the dust jackets professionally wrapped/laminated.

All of the books are the same: 5" x 7 1/2". Light blue boards. Unless otherwise noted, none of them have any shelfwear or dogears, and most have the darkening of the paper that you would expect. Unless otherwise noted, all have maps and/or photos and/or drawings. Unless otherwise noted, they appear to have been read once and are in pristine condition.

This one is Number 37: JOSEPH CONRAD SEA STORIES, by the famed Polish-Anglo sailor and novelist (1857-1924). It was originally published in 1949.

The stories included in this volume are some of his best-known: Typhoon, Youth, The Secret Sharer, and Narcissus.

This copy is the first Mariner's Library edition, printed in 1957. 272 pages.

The jacket is price-clipped and laminated to the covers.

The original owner put a decorative stamp on the front endpaper.

There's a little bit of discoloration on the dust jacket--it looks like ink transfer, under the laminate.

Otherwise perfect condition.
