What Our Customers Say...

Description

Early Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

The compelling first hand account of American explorer Frederick A. Cook's alleged claim to have reached the North Pole on April 21, 1908, nearly one year prior to explorer Robert E. Peary's landing on the North Pole, a rival claim to this victory. 

This work is a fervent vindication of Cook's claims, an edited collection of the manuscripts and memoir entries collated from Cook's journey. 

The first UK edition of this work. 

Edited by Frederick J. Pohl. 

Including fourteen illustrations from photographs taken by Dr Cook during his voyage. 

Enclosed in the original dust wrapper.

Condition

In the publisher's original cloth binding. Externally, lovely, with just some light shelf wear. Original unclipped dust wrapper is smart, with some light edgewear and some light markings to the wrap. Spotting to the interior of the wrap. Internally, firmly bound. A few spots to the fore-edge, otherwise pages are bright and clean.

Very Good Indeed
