White-jacket, or, The world in a man-of-war
1923, First Library Edition. London : Jonathan Cape. Poor copy, in the original red cloth boards with paper label mounted to the spine, now somewhat dust-dulled overall. Boards show scattered spotting, and moderate rubbing to the spine, endbands, and joints. Some worming to the upper corner of text, from front pastedown through p. x, and also to the lower corner from p. 369 to rear pastedown. Text remains unaffected in both instances. The text block is otherwise tight and clean, showing only isolated dust-dulling and gentle age-toning to the margins. A strong and serviceable copy. Item #462365
