Down to the Sea: The Fishing Schooners of GloucesterD.R. Godine, 1983 - 224 من الصفحات Lovers of quality will cherish this reprint of Godine's 1983 edition. While bound in paper covers and offset printed the book shows what a fine publisher can do with the modern options (that are so often exploited to spew ugly trash). The topic is another example of fine crafting: the Gloucester fishing schooners, "fastest, leanest, and most challenging working boats ever built" (from the cover). Garland's writing and the assembled photos, charts and drawings do justice to the memory of these noble machines. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR |
