FIRST EDITIONS OF THE EXTREMELY HANDSOME VELLUM-BOUND LIMITED EDITION OF THIS IMPORTANT COLLECTION FROM THE MARINE RESEARCH SOCIETY. ANY OF THE THREE ARE EXTREMELY SCARCE, THE FIRST VOLUME IS RARE IN THIS FORMAT. TO FIND ALL THREE TOGETHER IN SUCH FINE CONDITION IS AN EXTREMELY RARE OCCURRENCE. A BEAUTIFUL AND ELUSIVE SET. The first volume of this set was the most limited of any of the Society's special issues, with only 50 copies having been offered for sale. The other two are nearly as exclusive with both have well fewer than 100 copies printed.
These volumes, the initial publication of the Society and the two expanding publications, present many ship pictures which had never before reproduced in print and many that are still not available elsewhere. It is the largest and still most authoritative collection of images of the sailing ships built, owned, or commanded by New Englanders. Along with the pictures there are valuable historic summaries of New England shipbuilding and the many, many types of sailing vessels launched from New England's sea ports.

WINNER OF THE PEGASUS PRIZE FOR LITERATURE AND THE BOOKER PRIZE. Used. Very Good/Very Good unclipped original $17.95 dust jacket. Summary: "The Bone People, first published in 1984 by Spiral, New Zealand. About this book: The Bone People is an unusual story of love. It is unusual in the telling, the subject matter, and the form of love that the story depicts. This is in no way a romance; it is filled with violence, fear, and twisted emotions. At the story's core, however, are three people who struggle very hard to figure out what love is and how to find it. Hulme won New Zealand's Pegasus Prize for Literature (1984) for The Bone People. Then the book went on to win the prestigious Booker Prize (1985).
