This beautiful vintage edition of The Great Antarctic by John Mackie was published for the Men of Fame Series by Jarrolds. The book itself is undated but there is an inscription dated 1928.
It's in very good condition with just slight bowing to the boards and foxing to the text block edges. Crushing to the spine ends has caused minor splitting in the cloth. There is also a tiny hole in the cloth covering the front board.
Inside, there is a written inscription on the front free endpaper. The pages show light age toning and scattered foxing. The text is clear and bright.
The book has a collection of striking black and white illustrations inside. Dimensions approximately 19cm x 13.5cm x 4.5cm.
The book will arrive hand wrapped in biodegradable bubble wrap, patterned wallpaper and string.
I use a range of eco friendly, 100% recyclable jiffy bags and boxes, and whenever possible I use brown paper tape. The green bubbled wrap is biodegradable and the clear bubble wrap is 100% recyclable. I also reuse boxes when I feel it's appropriate (if the boxes are sturdy enough).
