About This Item
New York: W.W. Norton & Co., 1999. First Printing, First U.S. Edition. . Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. The 20th novel in O'Brian's highly-praised series featuring Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin, officers in the British Navy of the late 18th-early 19th centuries, this time celebrating Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo and beginning a journey to South America where everything will ride on a daring night raid against the might of the Spanish viceroy in Peru. Page 205 and the last two pages of the novel are dogeared, o/w boards and text are clean and unmarked, tight and square. The dustjacket shows a one-inch, tape-repaired tear at the top of the fold between the front panel and front flap; the flap also has a creased lower corner, no other significant flaws, not price-clipped. Makes a very nice reading copy.
