Item description from seller

This copy is in mint, unmarked condition bound in black cloth covered boards with bright gilt titling to the spine. This copy is bright, tight, white and square. The unclipped dustwrapper is in mint condition the author has signed the f.e.p. 'Michael. E. SV Black Rose Southampton boatshow 2001' with no other dedication International postal rates are calculated on a book weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased postal rates will be quoted, where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. 'Living In The Backwaters' is the autobiographical account of Michael Emmett's career as a fisherman, and more recently, a charterboat skipper in and around the Essex Coast of England. As the last of the working oyster-dredgers in the area, Michael is more than qualified to recount some of the experiences and atmosphere of the place. Long held in high regard by local yachtsmen and still full of local characters (including Michael!), the Essex estuaries and swatchways that Michael writes so well about still hold a fascination for sailors of a romantic disposition. Rumour has it that Emmett wrote this book in about 30 days while aboard his beloved 'Ostrea Rose,' Ref LLL 5.
