Item description from seller

First edition, first printing of the UK edition (preceded by the US by one year). Original blue cloth boards, original (not price-clipped) ilustratrated dustjacket by Dell'Orco with review of "The Knights of Dark Renown" on rear d.j., pp 350. Very lightly bumped and very slightly faded to the top edge of the spine. Very near fine condition in like dustjacket, protected. Housed in custom-made blue slipcase. The true first UK edition of the first novel in Patrick O'Brian's much-acclaimed, much-loved, Aubrey-Maturin series. The books were for many years more popular in Britain than the US. The title of the book, and some of the events, were given to the film adaptation. An excellent copy, in a custom made blue slipcase.
