B This copy has been signed by the author on the half-title page. "One hundred and fifteen boats started the race in Sydney, among them the most sophisticated racing yachts in the world. Only forty-three made it to the finish line in Hobart. In the cyclone that shredded the fleet, waves rose to the height of eight-story buildings, boats were destroyed, and men vanished beneath the waters. The storm warning was issued one hour after the start..." 295 pages, illustrated [including a frontispiece map].

Sobre biblioboy
We are biblioboybiblioboy dealers in Books, Stamps, Ephemera, Victorian Trade cards, Magazines, Postcards, Sheet Music, Engravings, and much more. I started out as a book collector and soon progressed to owning a book store with over 80,000 books and more than 10,000 pieces of ephemera, postcards, and other items. I exhibited my stock for years at book and paper shows around the eastern United States. As the book and paper business has changed over the years, I have changed the way I do business to evolve with the times. I now offer my items for sale on the web only, through my various listing services and web sites. Being a a collector, as well as a dealer, I understand the importance of condition, as well as rarity of an item, and the desire to own scarce and one of a kind items.
