Excellent guide for yachting enthusiasts, from the dependable author of
The Aegean and The Adriatic. A complete guide to the coastline and

for the next 40 years. Illustrated with photographs and excellent

Book is ex-library copy, withdrawn and sold, in
very good condition. Solid and square. Usual stamps inside. Very little
shelf wear to boards. Like many ex-library books, front endpaper has
been removed. Pages are a little yellowed to edges but inside are clean
with no tears or marks. Jacket is near fine, very glossy and bright, a
little wear along edges, no tears. Has been very well protected by a
clear film sleeve, which I have removed. No library markings to jacket.

region.
