About This Item
London: Collins, 1957. Creasing and some tears to edges of unclipped dustwrapper, with the lower inch or so at the spine missing and filled in with sellotape. Minor bumping to spine ends and corners of blue boards, original owner's gift message written by his grandmother on title page, unfortunately, but otherwise a good clean tight copy of this hard-cover book. Deals with events in Greenland in 1943, when a German weather station was set up on Sabine Island on the NE coast and later discovered by local men of the North East Greenland Sledge Patrol. 254pp, 14 b&w illustrations, endpaper map.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Good/Fair. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
