About This Item
New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1979. Hardcover. Good/Fair. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Chris Mayger (Jacket Illustration). Bolitho #15. Originally published in 1977, this copy is a 1979 first American Edition. First printing thus. Hardcover in blue boards with gilt titling to the spine and plain white endpapers. Good. Clean and firmly bound, with a minor reading slant and some colour faded from the boards. The dust jacket is only fair, with chips, tears, and creasing near the edges, clear tape applied to some of the more egregious damages, and a small section snipped from the inner flap. No markings.
Synopsis
Douglas Reeman (Alexander Kent) did convoy duty in the Atlantic, the Arctic and the North Sea. He has written over thirty novels under his own name and more than twenty bestselling historical novels featuring Richard Bolitho under the pseudonym Alexander Kent.

About Pulp & Circumstance
Welcome to Pulp & Circumstance on Biblio. Once a brick and mortar bookseller, I am pleased that I can now offer scarce and/or collectible books and other items via this platform.
P&C strives to ensure that all items are clean and fairly described. Packages will be wrapped with care and dispatched as soon as feasible, usually on the next business day.
We do not use stock photos. All our photos are of the actual item offered for sale. We try to include the publishers' own descriptions of content by including photos of dust jacket flaps and back covers so far as they seem useful, and we also use photos to show material flaws where we can.
The "Pulp & Circumstance" watermark you might notice in some of our photos does not, of course, appear on any of the items themselves.
Please note that the colour in our photos often fails to come out right. The hue shifts a bit due to the limitations of our equipment, the lighting in our workshop, and of course my own lack of photographic expertise.
Shipping costs per book are always cheaper when more than one book is sent in the same package. Read more about shipping charges in "Terms of Sale" below.
Feel free to ask any questions you might have by email. We will usually respond within 24 hours. Happy browsing!
