Maritime List 372 – For Your Reading Pleasure II

Here’s a second tranche from the lot of 1000 books recently acquired. This batch is mostly whaling, naval, New England, yachting, Lusitania, old salt’s recollections, women at sea, and exploration. I’ll probably issue one more similar list before heading to shows in Allentown and then New York. Hoping I have a chance to sneak a rare book list in before our London visit. After that, I dunno. A Canadian vacation would be nice, if we’re not at war with Canada.

As usual, we will pay postage on all items shipped within the US. To order a book, please send an email to us at tenpound@tenpound.com listing item number, author and title. Best not to telephone, as I’m frequently out of the office and rely on time-stamped emails to keep everything fist come, first served. Enjoy!
