| Notes: FAMOUS AUTHOR! Vintage Hardback Cloth Cover Book with Dust Jacket. Inside text is in Very Good Plus condition with a tight binding and clean crisp pages. Inside text appears to have had very little, if any, use. No writing or markings in the book. Outside cloth covers are nice with some minor corner wear. Dust Jacket is in Good Minus condition due to a piece missing in the bottom right hand corner of the front cover. Dust Jacket also shows some minor soiling primarily to the back cover with a small tear to the bottom edge of the back cover and some minor edge chipping from the top and bottom of the outside spine areas. Dust Jacket is now covered by a new clear mylar cover. Landmark Books and World Landmark Books are accurate, in-depth stories for young people in the 9-15 year old range.

Written during the 1950's and 1960's and illustrated either with two-color drawings or clear photographs, the books are informative, enjoyable, and well worth reading and collecting. For centuries the Barbary Pirates had plagued the world. Long before any settler had set foot in the New World they had begun their raids on merchant vessels. This is the story of the Barbary Pirates! This is not an ex-library book, but has come from a private collection. Great story by a great author! |
