William Heinemann, London, 1936 (Cheap Edition).  Hard cover, 280 pages.  Good; red boards with black lettering and publisher’s decoration on front board, black lettering on spine, publisher’s logo on rear board.  Corners bumped and show some wear, spine ends bumped with a short tear to cloth at bottom with a touch of fraying.  Boards show some colour fading, age-spotting; two small white pieces of paper stuck to spine.  All pages secure; slight roll to spine.  Dust jacket with price intact shows edge and cover wear, small losses at spine ends and corner folds, tears at lower-middle spine mended on verso.  Spine sunned with lettering a bit faded; age-toning, some soil, faded water marks.  Book interior clean and unmarked with tanning pages and occasional light age-spotting.  Although a ‘Cheap Edition’, it is very readable and has what appears to be a hard-to-find dust jacket.  A clipper ship is racing against time from San Francisco around Cape Horn to New York.
