A scarce 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 a full paper vellum binding. Externally very smart, with just a little wear to the extremities and slight bumping to the head and tail of the spine. Internally, front hinge is strained but remaining firm. Pages are bright and clean.
Very Good Indeed
