Details
First American Edition. Separately published the same year in plain dark cloth in London. This book is in fair condition, with some slight warping or puckering to original Big Dipper/North Star cover boards, binding is strong and spine intact, however one leaf has been found fallen loose perhaps missing. It is a terrific artifact, and as I am reading I may find the leaf tucked in. Otherwise I'll enclose a facsimile. Price is reflective of condition on this otherwise complete intact and original printing on the advancement of women, and Arctic exploration.
