An outstanding copy of this novel, the second in the Bounty trilogy; uncommon in this condition, particularly with the scarce original dust jacket. This copy is in very good or better condition with a square, tight binding, bright silver lettering and design over green cloth boards, and clean pages throughout; the book does show some light sunning and rubbing to the edges, faint soiling to the exterior text block, and PO bookplate to the front pastedown (hidden by the front flap); housed in a clean and bright very good dust jacket that shows only some light rubbing and chipping to the spine ends and corners, else near fine or better. Overall, a highly collectible and presentable copy; Not remaindered, not price clipped, not ex-library; in a protective Mylar sleeve and will ship carefully wrapped in a sturdy box.
