The Barbary Pirates Landmark #31 HB/PC C.S. Forester by C. S. Forester - 1953

Random House, 1953. Hardcover. Excellent. 8x6x1. Charles Mazoujian. Book is in Very Good to Very Good Plus condition with a tight binding and clean crisp pages. Inside text appears to be unread and unused! There is stamp from "The Colonial Press" on the first end page that states that this is an "over-stocked book made available to the employees". Some of the outside page ends show some spotting- "shelf wear", but this has NO effect on the inside text. Outside pictorial covers are very nice with only very minor corner wear. A nice book! Landmark Books and World Landmark Books are accurate, in-depth stories for young people in the 9-15 year old range. These living histories were written by award-winning authors or by men and women who experienced the events first hand. Written during the 1950's and 1960's and illustrated either with two-color drawings or clear photographs, the books are informative, enjoyable, and well worth reading and collecting. For centuries the Barbary Pirates had plagued the world. Long before any settler had set foot in the New World they had begun their raids on merchant vessels. This is the story of the Barbary Pirates! This is not an ex-library book, but has come from a private collection. Great story by a great author!
