First American Edition ('First published in U.S.A in 1962' ). I don't usually list books at prices higher than the competition, but I'm fairly confident that this book is in better condition than the others. Note also that the Pitman condition was first published in 1962 not 1956 as some sellers are referencing. The copyright page clearly states that the 1956 publishing was the French edition in Paris. There was a Phoenix House edition published in England in 1961 and then this First American by Pitman in 1962. You can see the green covers in the photos. They're perfectly clean. The gilt lettering on the spine is very bright. The cover edges and corners are in the top-notch shape, with no rubbing. The spine ends look very good. The book is square and the spine is straight. The binding is very solid from cover to cover. There are no cracks or spaces between any of the facing pages or between the covers and any of the pages. The covers are nicely, tightly bound. The interior of the book is in very good condition. The text pages are exceptionally clean. Scrolling through, I haven't found any instances of soiling. There are no turned-down corners, no placeholder creases. There is a skinny little crease off the top edge of the last few pages, not much of anything. The only imperfection I can find is some light amber spotting on the blank front end paper and on the two blank rear end papers. I'm also just noticing that there's some amber spotting on the white margin of the last text page, page 150. There are no markings in the book. No attachments of any kind. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere. There are 19 full-page illustrations, some are in color. 6 are double-page. In addition there are four pages of drawings of Sails and Rigs. All of the illustrations are in excellent shape. You can see the dust jacket in the first few photos. It is very clean. It has only one edge tear, a thin one off the front bottom edge. There is also a little crease just off the bottom edge of the spine, and tiny spots of rubbing at the four corners. The flaps are in very solid shape. There is a thin line of toning off the top edge of the front flap, also a handful of tiny amber spots. The jacket is NOT price-clipped, not clipped at all. It will be fitted with a protective cover after the photos are scanned. From the dust jacket: 'To please five thousand miles or more of the great ocean in a small boat, often only big enough for one person, sounds a risky, even an insane, adventure. But over the last fifty years many 'madmen' have dared to make the crossing of the Atlantic alone or with one companion, by sail, by motor-boat, even by kayak and rowing-boat! Here is an account, based on fact, of these crossings. The narrators are two marriners, one of Breton and one of Welsh stock. The crossings are facts, the reasons many-- scientific, for fame, for bets or money, or from sheer bravado. The stories are all well documented and there are drawings of variously rigged sailing vessels. This defiance of major natural forces makes the story thrilling, and the Compass of melodrama is boxed. Many adults will read this book for older boys and be moved by the 'guts' shown by the 'madmen of the Atlantic'. '.…

Description de la boutique
Many of the books I will be selling can accurately be described as ranging from somewhat rare to very rare. In some cases there won't be another copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. There doesn't seem much point, for you or me, in offering something that so many others are already offering. Subject matter will range very widely, creating the possibility for people with very different interests to find something that excites them. As regards pricing, my primary goal is to sell the book. Most often I would expect my book to be the least expensive option on the Internet taking into account an appropriate comparison(what is the condition, is the dust jacket present, is the book signed, is it a first printing, etc.). More important than selling the book I want to make sure that you know, as much as is possible, exactly what you are getting. To that end, you'll notice that my descriptions of condition tend to be lengthy, and that there will always be photographs to help you draw your own conclusions. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about a given book. As regards international shipping, the first class or standard rates I charge are based on a package weight between 2 and 3 pounds. If the book is on the thin side there is a possibility that I can securely pack it up under 2 pounds in weight. If so, the shipping price will drop by around $11.00 or $12.00 to $26.00-27.00. Canada, which is less expensive drops to $18.00. You can contact me before purchasing a book for an estimate on the shipping cost. If you buy the book and it weighs in below 2 pounds you'll get a Reduced Shipping message and amount with the invoice and you'll see the lowered final cost before you make your payment.…
