"Gold! That magic word turned the world into a wild, woolly stampede toward California in '49. Fast clipper ships, beauties to behold, loaded with freight and passengers, raced each other around the treacherous Cape Horn of South Africa and up the Pacific to San Francisco to join the hundreds of empty hulls anchored and deserted. Many returned to their home ports, others sailed on to Asia for cargoes of tea, coffee, and spices, and raced homeward to make history. Others were lost, never to be heard of again; but that is the life of the sea, cruel and filled to the brim with hardships, yet ever alluring to the sailor and adventurer -- to take things as he finds them, to mingle and merge, to love and marry irrespective of color or creed, that the world may carry on." Clean, SIGNED First Limited Edition #422, 1939, from a closed bookstore. As shown, dust jacket has considerable wear with torn areas on top front edge and back bottom corner, but book comes with a protective Mylar cover to prevent any future wear. Brown cloth cover is clean and corners are still fairly sharp. Flap is not clipped. Black and white frontispiece, "A Tahitian Lagoon." Author's inscription and signature, dated December 25, 1935 (pre-publication), appear on title page, along with a gold seal confirming the author's edition and number 422. No marked, creased, or torn deckle-edge pages, with normal aging of paper over time. A good copy. Book will be well packaged with signature confirmation for safe delivery. Paper Dragon is a 5-Star seller of popular books and does not solicit buyer ratings. OSL4.…
