The Yankee Whaler.

by Ashley, Clifford W

  • Used
  • Hardcover

London: Martin Hopkinson & Company, 1926. Here's a rarity right in plain sight. It's the scarce London printing of the first trade edition, limited to 1625 copies. No matter where it was published, it remains one of the key books on American whaling, and is still the best general source of whaling know-how, with Ashleys inimitable illustrations and much technical information on whaleships and whaling, as well as scrimshaw. Forster 160. Bound in publisher's decorated cloth over boards, top edge gilt. A fine, brilliant copy in illustrated dust jacket, which differs from the American jacket. Jacket is lightly chipped at spine ends and the backstrip shows some tanning. Housed in custom slipcase. . 21 x 28 cm. xxiv, (2), 379 pp. b/w and color plates.
