The Beauty of Sail.
Publisher: London: Adlard Coles, Limited, 1952..
Second Impression, 1954 Blue cloth stamped in gilt. Unpaginated, but 96 full page photographic plates on rectos with lengthy captions opposite. A nice collection of sailing photographs from the waters around England. Inside is clean, bright and sound, but the stamp of the U.S. distributor of the book is on the title page. The covers are lightly edgeworn; the front cover foredge has a significant bump. The jacket is missing a couple of inches of the front foredge with some associated tears and wrinkles around it. There are three tears of an inch on the front panel and the top inch of the spine is present but with tears. Despite that, an attractive copy.
