"A few of the stories are straightforward accounts, but all of them have some strange feature. The majority pose a question of some sort: What became of the ship? In what circumstances was it wrecked? What happened to the crew? Where is the treasure? Why did so many perish? Some of the questions are answered: we learn the full story of the missing 'Sussex', how the 'La Rozette' came be wrecked by the mutineers, and where the crew of the 'Briseis' was. Other problems remain unsolved: Did the 'Missing Squandron' founder? What became of Simon van der Stel's son in Madagascar? What happened to the 'Waratah'? Many of these tales are still told when seamen congregate, and the question always arises: What happened? Your guess is as good as mine." Dustjacket missing

How we describe the condition of our books

We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)

New: Exactly as it says.

As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.

Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.

Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.

Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.

Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
