Midget 32mo Series (approx. 8cm x 5.5cm). Bound uniformly in premium original dark blue publisher's leather wrappers, spines lettered in gilt. Page blocks finished with a bespoke, stylized cream and brown marbled edge pattern explicitly commissioned for this P&O run. Housed inside its original matching blue leather deluxe 'docking station' holding chamber, structurally designed with a flat-sitting base, an upright back panel, and dual wing sides set at precise 45-degree angles to display the fanned volumes dynamically. Case features a sharp P&O corporate crest stamped in bright gilt to one side. Accompanied by the exceptionally scarce, original executive calling card displaying the P&O emblem at the header and text reading: 'With the compliments of the Managing Director of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company', which lays seamlessly across the front of the inner fanned console layout. Compliments card hosts a highly valuable, contemporary pencil date provenance log reading '1960'.

English-Italian. A wonderful, complete maritime social history survivor.…

Description de la boutique

I have collected books most of my life. My collection has reduced now to about 4,000 items. I list a few more as time goes by! It is difficult sometimes to allow old friends to move on. Of course, they can find fresh enthusiasm from their new owners. No matter how many items you handle, there's always excitement and interest. It is vital however that my items are described accurately and I would hope to offer good value. If you see something that you feel is 'too high' for your pocket, don't hesitate to make me an offer. I try to keep the postage costs down, and within the United Kingdom this will be free. Posting abroad will be competitive, and often I will not ask for additional amounts if this is viable. But weight of items is the deciding factor. I will add images to my descriptions, and I hope that the combination will help you to decide. Regardless, always double check or take time to contact me for further information, or merely just to clarify a point. Ask for more images. If I can reduce anything I will do so. If you purchase more than one item, then offering a decent discount is likely. If items are not as described or you have a valid problem with any item, then I am happy to make a full or partial refund. This will be in line with all Statutory guidelines e.g returning the book in the condition it was delivered, and do let me know as quickly as possible. If damage has occurred then try to provide images. Ring me on 01352-810931…
