About This Item
New York: W W Norton, 1998. Denting to lower corners of cover resulting in creasing to lower corners of unclipped dustwrapper and to lower corners of the pages all the way through (i suspect the book was at some point carelessly handled and dropped on that corner). But otherwise a good clean tight copy of this larger, hard-cover book (11.5'' high by 10'' across). The authors' account of their life living for five years year-round on the sub-antarctic island of South Georgia. They were the curators of the Whaling Museum at Grytviken but travelled all over the island, and all round it on their yacht ''Curlew''. A heavy book, packaged weight would be almost 1500g, so extra postage will be require from buyers outside the UK. 256pp, colour illustration throughout.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Good/Good. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.
