All in all a very good First Edition copy of this World War II naval story that was later turned in to a very successful film. ![]() The front flap has some rubbing which means there is loss of surface paper which affects the bottom two lines of text. The dust jacket presents well in its removable, clear cover (not shown) and is clean and bright with just a hint of rubbing to the spine tips and corners and 0.8 cm closed tear to the bottom edge of the rear panel with a little associated creasing and a 4cm closed tear extending up from the foot of the spine that has been stabilised with tape on the verso of the jacket. A powerful novel of the North Atlantic in World Wat II, this is the story of the British ships Compass Rose and Saltash and of their desparate cat-and-mouse. There is also a band of slight toning on the free endpapers where the jacket does not reach. Internally there is a previous ownership name to the front pastedown and a little spotting mainly to the very edge of the text block and the first few and last few pages. Clean boards with firm, sharp corners and a touch of fading to the titles. In original unclipped dust jacket priced at 12/6 net. 13.7 x 20.4 cm blue cloth with white titles to the spine 416pp with double page map frontispiece. ![]()
