Green hardback book, with gilt titles on the spine, comes with translucent dust jacket, which have green flap sides to hold the dust jacket in position, price clipped. The book is in really good condition, normal wear, marks and tear apply consistent with use and age.… Folio Society first edition of 1955, printed by letterpress, reprinted by photo-litho in 1973. 127 pages all intact, nice tight binding. All pages, text and illustrations are in really good, clean, readable order. Printed in Great Britain by The Pitman Press, Bath. Set in Poliphilus Type and bound by J.M. Dent & Sons Ltd, Letchworth. The golden island of Tahiti seemed a paradise to the sea-weary crew of H.M.S Dolphin when, in 1767, they first set foot on its shores. This account of their experiences was written by the Master, to whose vivid and unspoken narrative have been added some piquant details from the Journals of other members of his ship's company. It paints an extremely entertaining picture of what happened when a party of English sailors stumbled into a Garden of Eden. Robert Gibbings, the illustrator, knew Tahiti well, and loved it: his engravings , exquisite in detail, convey all the timeless fascination of the island better than any camera. A brilliant read and definitively a book to be preserved for future generations.
