Item description from seller

88 pp. Octavo. Original mustard coloured cloth. Title and illustration on front board, as well as the spine. Boards somewhat stained and a bit sun faded from being up against another book. Frontispiece, as well as forty-six black and white photo illustrations. Internally a very nice, clean copy. With the early signature of David Loader, dated 13 May 1934, on the front free end paper. An interesting copy of the book which has a four page letter from the book's author to Loader laid-in loosely. Also included are six homemade Christmas cards signed David and Jean, all dating from the 1970's to the 80's. David it seems was in the military and an artist which is talked about in the cards. The Cobb letter has the heading "Bleaker Island Falkland Islands". It talks about island life, local politics, family matters and Falkland Island stamps. Also included is a single page sheet with reviews of the book. Cobb was a well known Falkland Islander and gives an interesting local account.
