71 Pages. Signed by the author in dark blue ink below his picture on the page opposite tot the title page.
This is an account of the author's trip, while a boy, with his father on a ship, The Arabic, into many countries around the world. The book comes in green boards with gold lettering on the front cover and on the spine. The book's exterior has four corners with variably worn areas, worn areas at the top and bottom of the spine along the left edge of the spine, and light wearing on the bottom edge. The interior book, other than having some foxing and/or stains on some of its pages and having a few loose pages from the binding, has no further visible detriments, distractions, or extraneous markings throughout it and thus has all of its printing and black and white photos in a very well-preserved and enjoyable condition. The bindings of the book, other than the aforementioned loose pages, appear to be still sound overall and thus quite tight.

If you order this neat little book from us, it will be carefully wrapped up, padded, boxed, and then sent right away to you, and will come with our total appreciation for your interest and your order.
