hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Every winter when the ocean buoys start to read 10-, 15-, and 20-feet, the coast of Half Moon Bay, California, is transformed by an enormous wave called Maverick s. Recognized as one of the most dangerous big wave surf breaks in the world, Maverick s is big, cold, and sickeningly powerful. It s the best show in town, but until now you could only see it through a pair of binoculars. Inside Maverick s brings you right onto the sickening ledge of a 75-foot wave with jaw-dropping photographs and gritty insider accounts of what it s really like out there. Sports columnist Bruce Jenkins and Maverick s surfer Grant Washburn have interviewed top big wave surfers Peter Mel, Zach Wourmhoudt, Evan Slater, and others to discuss every aspect of the freakish wavefrom the paddle out to the terrifying drop to the inevitable and brutal wipeouts. Covering fifteen years of incredible surfing with photos that have never before been published, Inside Maverick s grants unparalleled access to this legendary wave and the elite core of big wave surfers that are obsessed with challenging it. 160 pages with index. As this item is both very over sized and heavy, there will be an extra charge for priority mail or for shipping outside the United States.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Flat signed by George Crossette, Homer Rosenberger, Leonard Grant and many others on half title and title pages. From the library of Homer L. Calkin. Bound in red cloth. Gilt lettering on spine. Hardcover. Good binding and cover. Shelf wear. Clean, unmarked pages. *Autographed by club members.* Homer L. Calkin former deputy director for the U.S. Department of State, began his service to his country in 1942 as organizations and propaganda analyst in the War Division in the Department of Justice. During World War II, he was an officer in the Military Intelligence Service of the War Department General Staff, and following the war he served on the National Archives for four years. In 1950, Mr. Calkin joined the Department of State as an archivist on the Records Management Staff, of which division he later became chief. For 27 years, he worked in a multitude of capacities within the Department, serving on the planning staff for the extension of the Department of State building, traveling to some 50 embassies and consulates in Europe and Asia to assist in the transfer of occupation functions from the armed forces to the Department of State, assisting in the development of new procedures for the issuance of visas, and providing guidance in records management and archival problems. George Crossette was the retired chief of the geographic research division of the National Geographic Society. Mr. Crossette joined National Geographic in 1938 as a researcher in its cartographic division. He directed the geographic research division from its formation in 1953 until he retired in 1972, and in that capacity was responsible for the accuracy of all geographic information in the society's magazine, books and other publications. He compiled and standardized statistical information on most of the world's physical features, from the lengths of rivers to the heights of mountains, and his reputation for extensive geographic knowledge often made him an arbiter of geographic disagreements for other organizations, such as newspapers, engineering firms and travel groups.
