Dealer Notes
Spence 1107; Renard 1460; Rosove 308.A1. Shackleton’s well-told account of his Endurance expedition, the value of which is heightened by the photographic illustrations from Frank Hurley’s originals. First editions of the book have become scarce, and in particular the low quality of the paper and cloth used for the first edition mean that many copies are in poor condition, this copy being very well preserved.
