Description:
First US edition. Hardback. Fine in Fine DJ.We have an enduring fascination with the large creatures –real and legendary- under the sea. In this book, Richard Ellis casts his net wide in search of the most unusual aquatic fauna, real and imagined, from mermaids and manatees to the Loch Ness Monster. He looks at sightings, searchers, literature and Hollywood as it depicts sea monsters. From Blobs to Leviathan, from the Kraken to the Giant Squid. A fascinating read. An excellent copy. Pages are exceptionally clean and bright, uncreased. There is a neat inscription in the title page. Cloth boards tight and clean. DJ is unclipped and clean, the most minor shelf wear to the top and a little sun fading to the spine. But altogether a really nice copy. See photos all of which are as ever of the actual book we are selling. All now protected in professional clear book wrapper. 432 pp with many b&w plates, bibliography & index
