From the Dust Jacket: "This remarkable book tells the story of that Iceberg's journey from the day it was 'calved' into Baffin Bay until it crippled the Titanic eighteen months later. Richard Brown's quiet, compelling prose describes the rich natural and human world through which the Iceberg traveled. It is the story of the Sierapaluk, the one surviving band of Inuit in the far northwest corner of Greenland... of the last surviving bowhead whale... of the outport men who stream into St. John's each winter, pleading for a berth on the sealing ships... Through these lives, and many more, the Iceberg passes on its way to the Grand Banks and its fateful meeting with the Titanic..." . First UK Edition. Hardcover. Fine condition/Fine dust jacket. 8vo. 152pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.

About About Books

About Books (Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and OP books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail-order catalogues, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of over 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialties listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you wish to visit us to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please, only between the hours of 8am and 10pm (west coast time).
