The Pirates (seafarers S.) [first edition]

This new copy is bound in faux blue calf with bright gilt titling to the spine and inset colour plate to the upper board. A dust wrapper is not called for. The text block is unmarked, tight, white, bright and square. 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. This is a superb collection with general introductions, authored by acknowledged maritime historians. Lavishly illustrated in colour and black and white plates with maps as called for. There are also specially commissioned artworks. Definitely worth having in a nautical history library. This is just one title of the complete set of twenty two titles that I am selling on this site. This volume in the Time Life Seafarers series deals with piracy in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, concentrating on the period from 1670 to 1725, when such figures as William Kidd, Edward Teach (Blackbeard) and Bartholomew Roberts became household names.
