Hardcover. pp. xvi, 268.8vo,,Bound in original navy blue cloth and in original dust jacket,This copy inscribed in ink by the author to Wynne and Gordon McLintock, The author has signed, and dated, the inscription in the year of publication. Vice Admiral Gordon McLintock was the Superintendant of the United States Merchant Marine Academy (also known as King's Point) from 1948 to 1970. Carse also served in the American Merchant Marine, and was the author of five novels and ten works of non-fiction. Altogether, a unique presentation copy. The inside of the front and rear panels of the dust jacket have a blue stain which has offset to the outer edge of the boards (although this is not particularly noticeable as the cloth is dark blue), causing the rear flap to adhere to the cloth. Front board a bit bowed. Binding tight, contents unmarked. Still a good copy. The dust jacket is rubbed at the extremities and would be considered in 'good' condition were it not for the staining to the inside. Ill.: black-and-white photographs.
