Captain Blood - Riverside Press edition

by Rafael Sabatini

Very tight, sound copy of the lovely, later, and larger Riverside Press octavo edition, by Houghton Mifflin, of the Sabatini Classic. Gilt lettering on spine faded, but front panel is intact. There are four great full page full color glossy panels in the book, artist unknown, including a classic 'walking the plank' scene. Book is clean, with illustrated end papers. Very mild edge wear to boards, else fine.

This is the edition that I've been looking for for years! In addition to this being a great copy to read, this is the edition that I recall reading from adolescence. That and the fact that it is in truly wonderful condition made the price irrelevant when it came to bidding!
