Whaling & Fishing by Chas Nordhoff Book

Here is a wonderful book entitled Whaling & Fishing by Chas Nordhoff - author of Man of War Life the Merchant Vessel with illustration by William H. Walker. Copyright 1895 – Dodd, Mead & Company. This is a small size book measuring 3 3/8”l x 4 1/2”w. Red cloth boards in a classical design and overall the condition is quite spectacular. The binding is tight and of course the pages have just a tiny bit of browning. The preface starts out like this “with this volume my story of life at sea is complete. I have endeavored to give a strictly faithful account of the various phases of a sailors existents. I have borne in mind the usually objection to books of this class; that they are likely to inspire youth with an uneasy longing for a wandering, worthless mode of life. And as my little books were likely to interest young men and boys, my aim has been to give a plain common sense picture of that about which a false romance throws many charms. If anything I have written on this subject shall induce a young man, launching into life, to make a sensible choice of evils, by looking elsewhere than to the Sea for the adventure existence which his spirit requires, I shall be rewarded.” So here you have an interesting true life account of life at sea. I would suspect that there were not many copies of this book produced.

Striving For Excellence It isn’t brilliance or just getting the breaks, It is consistent attention to & honest respect for the Customer.
