About This Item
New York: Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1963 WYSIWYG pricing--no added shipping charge for standard shipping within USA. Blue cloth, black titles, blind & gilt decoration, grey dec. endpapers, cloth-reinforced hinges, 276 pp, index. Slightly scuffed, loose rear free endpaper tipped in (this is not a major flaw since the book was manufactured with the endpapers split along the hinge and free endpapers tipped in; this provided the extra strength and flexibility needed for this large and heavy book). DJ complete and unfaded but rather beat up about the edges; in Brodart archival cover. Contents consist mainly of hand-lithographed line drawings of various details of ships, mostly sailing ships but some details of steamships and power boats are included. The text provides background and explanation for the illustrations; the captions make the book a pictorial dictionary. Contributors: Bengt Kihlberg (chief editor), Curt Sture Görman (supervisor of graphic design), Per Nielsen (director of lithography), Sam Svensson, William A. Baker, Tage Blum, George Timmerman, George P. B. Naish, Alan W. H. Pearsall, Rolf Scheen, and many others. Shipping weight 6 lbs.. First Edition. . VG/VG-. 29 X 29 cm.

Terms of Sale
Twin City Antiquarian Books
Books are offered subject to prior sale. You may return any book within 14 days for a refund; if it was not as described, we will also refund return shipping costs (but please e-mail us first). You can place credit card orders through Biblio, or we will ship upon receipt of payment by check or money order. Sales tax is collected by Biblio and remitted directly to your state, where applicable. SHIPPING IN UNITED STATES: Books are priced postpaid, so there are no additional shipping charges for standard shipping. We will ship via Priority Mail for $12.00 per order (Save on multiple-book orders!). This may be reduced if actual postage is less than for a medium flat-rate box. INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: In most cases, shipping via Biblio's consolidated shipping program via Asendia is the cheapest option on orders up to 5 lbs. International shipping rates are complex (cost depends upon weight and destination), so please feel free to email us for a quote before you order. If the actual cost of shipping is more than the automatically quoted rate, you must approve the additional charges before the order will be shipped. Shipping charges will be reduced if shipping weight is under 3 lbs. All shipping charges (except via Asendia) include 17% to cover Biblio fees and commissions that apply to these charges. LIBRARIES: We offer flexible terms to public and university libraries.
