The text block is unmarked, tight, white, bright and square. International postal rates are calculated on a book weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased postal rates will be quoted, where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. This is a superb collection with general introductions, authored by acknowledged maritime historians. Lavishly illustrated in colour and black and white plates with maps as called for.
