The Whale Killers
Liversidge, Douglas
Jarrolds Publishers London 1963 First Edition
8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Hardcover 500 g; 192 pages including bibliography, illustrated with black-and-white photographs and black-and-white reproductions on art work. Illustrated dust jacket by Douglas Hall. The book has no marks to indicate that it was a library book. However -- on the spine of the dust jacket there is an abraided piece where a sticker could have been; and on the rear end pages, there is a blob of glue, and also a small abrasion which might have been glue holding a borrowing pocket. The verso of the dust jacket shows staining and abrasion from removal of sticky tape used to protect it. Handling marks to the edges of the text block. An image can be provided to help assess condition. The author confined his account of whaling to the last 200 years,, and invented and exciting prose, records many notable incidents of whale hunting in icy and in tropical seas where murder, mutiny and cannibalism were frequent occurrences. A total of eight pages of illustrations. Whaling Poor
