First Edition: Second Printing. 176 pages: 6.25 x 9.25 in.: KB#019237: NEW, UNREAD Condition. SIGNED BY AUTHOR'S SON (David Irving) at top of title page; this copy was received, by this bookdealer, directly from the author's family. Book was originally published in 1946; this is the second printing, done in 2020. Bookjacket / dustjacket now protected by a New Brodart Mylar Cover. Dustjacket, boards and pages are clean, unmarked (except for signature), brightly colored, tightly bound and sharp cornered. Scarce, Out Of Print, Book. The Author John Irving was an officer serving in the Royal Navy from 1914 to 1945. "The sea has a language of its own which I deem worthy of preservation. It is the unbreakable link between seamen. The sailor lives a life so much apart from his fellow men, a life of journeyings and wanderings, of strange places and strange tongues. To-day, in Mess Deck and Ward Room there are phrases in common daily use which span the centuries. The speed of modern sea life has a tendency to brush some of those older expressions from the seaman's tongue but they contrive to linger on in the background. I have therefore garnered them into this Glossary of Navalese, at least to keep their memory green, for they do not die.": B&W Illustrations.
