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 20 left, which I have posted individually. You can find them all in my store, under Books, then 'Maritime, Boats, Ships.'
If you'd like more than one at a reduced rate, please message me.
The original owner collected the set and then 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 6, Gallions Reach, by the English journalist Henry Major Tomlinson (1873-1958). It is classified as a novel but it is based on his own travels.
Gallions Reach
is the story of an East End shipping clerk, Jim Colet, who, in a moment of rebellion against the tyranny of dull work and a bullying employer, causes his boss's death with an unlucky blow. He escapes to sea, and becomes a purser on the Altair, a steamer making her way across the Indian Ocean. The Altair goes down in a storm, the crew is rescued and Colet ends up on an expedition to Malaya. J.B Priestley cited Tomlinson's "marvellous power of description and magnificent prose style, one of the few writers who have created classics out of their travels."
This copy is the 4th impression, printed in 1955. 240 pages.
Attractively personalized by the original owner. No illustrations. Unclipped dust jacket with original price tag. There's a tiny bit of discoloration to the edges of the boards. Otherwise perfect condition.
