What Our Customers Say...

Description

First Edition, Illustrated

Written by Ernst Hova, a Norwegian writer. 

Illustrated with photographs throughout. 

In the Norwegian language.

The first edition, first impression of this work. 

From the library of Eric Kenneth Prentice Back. Kenn Back was a British meteorologist with the British Antarctic survey for many years. He spent eight winters in the Antarctic and is a descendent of Captain George Back. In addition, he served as base commander at Halley, Faraday and Rothera stations. His library collection was built over decades and highlights his love of polar exploration.

Condition

In the publisher's original full cloth binding. Externally generally smart; a touch bumped to the head and tail of the spine. Ownership bookplates to the front pastedown and the verso of the front endpaper. Internally, generally firmly bound; front hinge is a touch strained but remaining firm. Pages are a little age-toned to the edges.

Very Good
