About This Item
This slim hardcover volume, with a gold filigree cartouche of the ship Golden Hind on the front right bottom corner, and with the title, author on a black label affixed to the upper spine, is in fine condition, autographed by the author. Printed on special mold-made paper from Holland, with ragged edges, it has a copy number (47) inscribed by hand by the author on the descriptor page, which also indicates that of the 105 copies, only the first 89 were for sale. A one-of-a-kind beautifully hand-colored illustration, signed by the illustrator, appears on the frontispiece. The book is sheathed in a mylar cover, so shows the barest signs of wear at the top of the spine, on one side of the spine along the title label and on the outermost margin of the corners. Altogether, a lovely book. a wonderful gift.

The return fees will be refunded if the item was repacked properly. If the item is being returned because it was damaged in the original shipping, we ask the buyer to email photographic documentation of the damage immediately upon receipt of the item. If the item is being returned because it is not what was ordered, then the refund will be full and immediate--provided the item is returned in packaging adequate to protect it from damage.
