About This Item
A movie book from the 1950s. The book chronicles the making of a movie about a round trip by a large sailing ship from Oslo to the Americas and back. The front endpaper illustrates the route taken by the ship Christian Radich, a trip of 17,500 miles. The rear endpaper is a three panel fold-out image of the ship in New York Harbor. The book shows very little wear, just a little at the head and tail of the spine. The pages are clean, tight and intact, even the fold-outs. This book is very rare. Included is a brochure about the US Coast Guard Cutter Eagle, another tall ship, by the National Geographic.

Many of my books are oversized. Rather than ask for shipping adjustments at the time of purchase, the list price for heavier books includes the excess shipping cost. All of my photographs are of the actual product, taken by my trusty little Kindle Fire. Currently we have about 2900 books offered for sale online, with more being added daily.
