COOK, DR. FREDERICK A.  My Attainment of the Pole Being the Record of the Expedition That First Reached the Boreal Center 1907-1909
New York, Polar Publishing Co. 1911. 1st edition. hb brown cloth. 4to, pp. xx, 604. With the final summary of the polar controversy. Re-bind candidate: moisture damage to front board has rendered the decoration nearly invisible, black (ink?) stain to top of front board, 0.5x4-inch piece of cloth torn from rear board. Hinges weak, eps split but cheesecoth intact. Aforementioned ink stain also affects contents: stain on half-title measures 3x1.25, and shrinks to 1.5x0.5 by pg. 7, then continues here and there - oddly, to just a few pages at a time - through to pg. 131. Moisture has also affected contents, causing some rippling to prelims. and some staining (mostly about 3 inches in from the gutter), to about page 5, then, again, scattered, faint marks at margins here and there. The rest of the book is relatively clean, with the odd fingerprint and one torn page corner. There is no detectable musty odor remaining. b&w photos and illustrations.
