Hoffman captures the humanity of those sailors who spent years at sea. If you want mundane dates and detail, this book is not for you. Hoffman presents the authentic voice of the professional. His memories are not just of battles, but of the small details of life at the time. His account of borrowing a tradesman's horse in Devon had me laughing aloud - and is longer than his eye-witness account of Trafalgar."; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 197 pages .

About Dr. Bookman - All Books Tightly Packaged in Cardboard
We have an eclectic array of used and out of print books for you in our inventory. Service is key to our relationship with you. You get \"Old School\" service with Dr. Bookman. We can\'t look at each other in the eye, shake each others hand, or walk into the shop the next day if we\'re disatisfied. I understand that vulnerability. You are purchasing a product sight unseen. That means I must be honest with you about exactly what you are buying. You might find my descriptions more detailed than most others, but when purchasing online, I want you to know exactly what you\'re buying. I don\'t want you to feel surprised when you open the box. And by the way, almost all of our books are shipped in cardboard packaging designed just for books. That means you get it the way it left here.
